In search of the perfect high

Back in high school it was a big deal if you were caught smoking a cigarette, drinking a beer or making out at a school function.  Then in university partying mean copious amounts of alcohol and many hung-over mornings.  The dawn of the millennium brought with it a whole new chemical cocktail with which to escape reality and keep going for 2-3 days straight…pills in various shapes and sizes. 

These days socializing with friends at a club means frequent visits to the toilet or other private sanctuary where one can rack up and snort up.  The prevalence and use of drugs these days is amazingly widespread and commonplace.

While the timings of these events may vary for each of us, and the fact that each of these stimuli has been around for a while now, I am sure the progression from one to another has been similar.  It leads me to wonder then where we are heading ?  

In a few years are we going to wire our brains to some kind of machine which will neurologically stimulate our pleasure centers’ in order that we may experience the ultimate high ?  Or is that too anti-social ?  Will the twisted creators of these stimulants simply create different cocktails for us to ingest ?
