"Those unwilling to turn tricks for drug money are unwilling to experience their true self."
Part of each person's path is what they're willing to do to get what they want. The Chemical Buddha saw how some people were only willing to go after things that were easy. Typically, those people ended up living shallow, uninvolved lives filled with mortgage payments and soulless jobs. TCB believed those who were willing to follow their path into dark alleys and urine soaked bathrooms, would one day look in the mirror and not know who they were. It was then the first crack of dealing with harsh reality would bring about a truth unlike anything they had ever experienced. And point them towards their true nature and their true path. But The Chemical Buddha was really high at the time he said this, so who knows if it's actually true or not.
Do you feel in touch with reality?
What is your true nature?
Who do you think you really are?
What about yourself have you faced and what did you learn in that confrontation?

Who Knew?
“My addictions define me.”
While most other people used fancy clothes, cars, and jewelry to tell the world who they were, The Chemical Buddha used sex, drugs and food to define himself. If TCB was afraid of anything, it was that if he didn’t have all of his various addictions, who would he be? How would he define himself? The good thing about his fear is it drove him to pile on even more addictions, so the chance of him shedding them all to get down to his core essence was pretty much impossible. Which means there was very little worry that anyone would ever find out who The Chemical Buddha truly was. Most of all him.
How do you define yourself?
How do you let others know who you are and what you are about?
If you took all of that stuff away, who would you be?
