problems which would have her easily move into drugs when the going knowledge is that drugs are totally bad for mental and physical health. The wealth has very little to do with it because the poor are just as susceptible. In fact poverty i s a regular factor in the equation. Whatever the problems are, they probably beg an during adolescence. Most of our problems begin during childhood and we become so accustomed to so much negative and harmful input that it becomes second natu re to carry it without noticing, and to medicate it without realizing the releva nce between substance-abuse and unconscious/conscious painful mental baggage. Al so bio-psychology teaches us that some of the mental issues are attached to DNA and RNA. This tells us that some of the babies came into the world mentally trou bled. I read somewhere that the CIA studied closely, the affects crack paste coc aine was having on Peruvians long before they began dumping it into "black" neig hborhoods here! Crack-babies were only one of the psycho-physical results of the destabilization/Contra-war tragedy. They watched as the Peruvian middle-class f ell apart to paste-crack abuse and knew exactly what it would do if they dumped it here. Since our country is openly promoting drugs (pharmaceuticals) and alcoh ol these vices are easily part of our Euro-culture and those who are more prone to mental problem from childhood are more easily apt to be coaxed over to other stimulants (happy feeling drugs). Friends with mental problems easily introduce friends with mental problems to all sorts of negative vices. Some mentally ill p eople will be stockpiled in the lucrative judicial/prison system, some will make it into the lucrative military complex (which is lucrative for the elite). Some will be murdered by lucrative policing actions and some will inadvertently kill themselves and others. According to economic studies this is all lucrative to t he 1%.
