POPSRat Park: What you think you know about drug addiction is wrong
More: …rats will choose to stay high and whacked out all of the time if they are trapped in solitary confinement, but they don't like being dopey when they are in a better environment…Rats have their own agenda, and it doesn't include being locked up alone in a steel cage in a laboratory, pressing a lever…most humans are like that too. It is an old stereotype that it is the poorest people, in the slums and ghettos, who stay drunk or stoned all day long…Most people, in better environments, don't really want to stay doped out all of the time…try a few thought experiments…a guy is locked in solitary confinement…he doesn't even know for how long, or if he will ever get out, and there is plenty of alcohol and dope available…Does he use?…enough to get obliterated? Probably. …a guy is locked up in a big luxurious hotel suite with the entire Swedish bikini ski team. Again, the full supply of alcohol and drugs is also available…Does he stay obliterated all of the time? Highly unlikely.
