Story
This is a true story. A transparent story of the life of a young man in America, who, like many of our lost youth, found his way into the drug culture. This story is an autopsy into the mind, heart, and soul of an addict. It begins at childhood and takes us through the thoughts, turmoil, and inner conflicts of a person lost in the undercurrent of addiction, and ends in a climax of self-discovery and realization. It is a gripping tale of a suburban youth and his journey through the streets of Baltimore, institutions, prisons, addiction, and worst of all, his own mind.

After Jason’s world falls apart in LA, he moves to Berkeley for a fresh start with his kid brother. Just one problem: his long-closeted Adderall addiction has exploded into an out-of-control crystal meth binge. Within weeks, Jason plunges into the sprawling ParTy n’ ’Play subculture of the Bay Area’s gay community. It is a wildly decadent scene of drugs, group sex, and criminals, and yet it is also filled with surprising characters, people who are continually subverting Jason’s own presumptions of the stereotypical tweaker.

ADHD may be the defining diagnosis of our time. According to the latest data, more than 10 percent of American children (that’s 7.1 million kids) have been diagnosed with ADHD. And the number of stimulant prescriptions for adults in their 30s has shot up nearly threefold since 2012. In recent years, this explosion in demand has combined with other factors to create a widespread stimulant shortage in the US. In the second installment of Backfired, cohosts Leon Neyfakh and Arielle Pardes look at the unintended consequences of the ADHD industry, and trace the surprising path that brought us here.

If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

And that there is an alternative "negative path" to happiness and success that involves embracing the things we spend our lives trying to avoid.

Synthesis of brain studies…trick’s point of view
This is an account by a sugar daddy/boyfriend/basically a trick, who developed an interest in addiction, and compassion for its sufferers, after he placed an ad seeking a sleazy arrangement. Hey…he never said he was perfect, but he’s as real as they come. I have long held a suspicion that some of my favorite ethnographies of street workers were undertaken when titillation unexpectedly turned into something more inspired. As someone who has experienced addiction and life on the streets, and later became a dogged advocate for others still struggling on the streets, I say, “Whatever gets the information out there.” In my Master’s work, I have been trying to find ways to convey, in layman’s terms, how addiction takes people out of the driver’s seat of their own minds. I was floored when the author explained how the consideration of morals and rational decision making takes place in the prefrontal cortex. The impulse to find and consume drugs occurs in the midbrain, which has thousands of years of evolution on the prefrontal cortex. In addiction, the midbrain reigns supreme, and the PFC is offline. The actively addicted person is unable access to her moral sense, or the information that drugs are NOT actually the most important thing for survival. (This is a mistake made by the midbrain because, when it evolved, pleasurable things were not bad for you). Basically, an evolutionary lag (my term) is responsible for keeping our rational mind, and what we know about drugs, from guiding our decisions, in active addiction. (Marc Lewis, Ph.D). Kudos to the author for conveying the thesis of a pivotal neuroscience text in a fun, exciting easy read! The book also delves into issues of childhood abuse, neglect, and PTSD. All in a raunchy and explicit account of, unintentionally I suppose, exploiting the vulnerability of these women. I suppose he justifies it by the fact that they are, apparently, exploiting him back. To be fair, he doesn’t blame them, or really look down on them. He is not exceptional in terms of male behavior, but he is the “exceptional male,” in that he understands that prostitution isn’t sexy and fun; it’s traumatic. He knows it’s not easy money, and they hate what they do. Today, he says, he is against prostitution because of the suffering inherent in it. Some would say he becomes a “Captain Save-A-Ho.” I say he made a deep connection out of what could have been an unhappy, superficial misunderstanding. Not bad, for a trick! On the other hand, I do wish he had learned a little more respect for the women he understands so well. His attitude toward the ones in personal relationships with him is a bit demeaning. For example, using, “Hussy,” as a pseudonym for one of them, and a bit of a sniggering attitude toward their addictive behavior and sexual mores, despite admitting his are hardly better. Perhaps worse, if we’re judging, because their promiscuity is not an end in itself, but a means to self-medicate unspeakable trauma. I understand that he was in personal, often emotionally tumultuous, relationships with them. That cannot be easy, but he sought out “hoes,” specifically. I AM glad that he didn’t omit his d*ckishness and paint himself as a savior, though he sometimes comes, distastefully, close. Perhaps that’s where the “attitude” comes from. He seems to think he is owed some respect for giving them money but, in personal relationships, once you give it’s not yours anymore. You can’t compel loyalty, honesty, or trust. In fact, paying a prostituted woman for “arrangement” is probably the best way to be earn the title, “just like everyone else,” plus extra resentment for getting personal. A self-styled sugar baby is a better bet…they are looking for that dynamic. I hope he is using the occasional tone of mild resentment to express where he was at, at the time, and had learned and matured since then. In the end, it’s not where you got your education but how much you learn that counts. I can overlook his flaws, as I know he would mine, because this author is a street scholar.
