"Oxytocin is the original gateway drug."
The Chemical Buddha heard a lot about gateway drugs that were supposed to lead to harder and harder drugs and a life of hardship and addiction. However, TCB thought this was nothing more than a clever smokescreen by people who didn't want teens and kids to know the true source of their craving for connection: oxytocin. Before you Google oxytocin we'll tell you what it is (just in case Google disagrees with us). Oxytocin is the chemical that is released during skin to skin contact. And as psychological research has shown, baby monkeys will forego food for touch. I’m not sure, but that seems like a pretty big indication that oxytocin is an addictive drug. It was this line of thinking that lead The Chemical Buddha to debunk the myth that marijuana would open anyone to anything. We're born addicts.
What do you crave?
What has the impact of that craving had on your life? Would you define it as 'good' or 'bad'?
About The Elvis of Enlightenment
- The Chemical Buddha
- Not much is known about The Chemical Buddha (as he preferred to be called) other than he was a crack baby with fetal alcohol syndrome born into a family of hippie hedonists. Throughout his life, The Chemical Buddha sought spiritual enlightenment through excess. To put it quite simply, he saw himself as the Elvis of Enlightenment. While still in his-mid twenties, The Chemical Buddha left this earthly plain for the last time while beer bonging chicken gravy and shooting heroin as he engaged in an orgy that included at least four members of the amphibian family. His last coherent words, before he asphyxiated on vomit that was not entirely his own, was “Nirvana. Choke! Gag! Cough!” Did The Chemical Buddha transcend his earthly bonds through his unorthodox lifestyle? Did he find the key to “Nirvana?” Or was he answering a music trivia question? Here is a collection of the thoughts, sayings, views and bathroom graffiti that has been attributed to The Chemical Buddha. Was he a mystic sent to show us the way or just another drugged out freak that incoherently babbled a few crude views about life? Decide for yourself. This blog of his teaching is maintained by his "monks."
