8. Drugs ruin creativity

There is a scale of emotions that people move up and down as they go through life. Here's an example:

Let's say someone is bored. She smokes pot which causes the nervous system to go numb and "lifts" her into a fake cheerfulness. It's fake because what happens when the drug wears off? She feels terrible and doesn't care about anything. when she comes back up the scale, she feels a little lower than before she took the drug.

The person goes lower and lower on the scale, feels less and less cheerful and less creative as time goes on.
