💉 i can imagine how easy itd be to get me to swallow any random pills if you just told me they got me high lol. i mean, i trust you, so why not take whatever you give me? theyd be loose, no packaging to refer to, no name to google to check what youre telling me. and itd be so nice of you to keep track of me while im using things i never have before, ill tell you all about what im feeling. maybe the effects are subtle and take a while to notice (how disappointed and bored id be that nothing psychoactive is happening in my brain, not something i notice anyway :/).. ahh maybe theres something that makes all my depressive sorts of thoughts worse, but it happens slowly and soon ill be cutting myself just because i feel i need to again (sounds like a ritalin bender honestly, when it comes to me and ritalin anyway..). or maybe its not subtle at all! maybe you could combine something thatll make me feel so awful and angry and sad and all of those feelings i try to escape with something that calms me down and gets rid of my inhibitions, something that makes my brain not want to really move at all or do anything … maybe those two together would make me feel okay being like that, content to not feel okay anymore. that kind of feeling, so horrible, almost feels kind of good. just need to figure out whatever chemical dials to turn that how good it feels to feel horrible becomes more important than how calm it feels to not feel horrible.
and when i do fall into those sorts of feelings, thats when you can start working on my opinion of pain. i am meek and i dont like things that hurt, which is kind of ironic to say when i am covered in so many scars. maybe you can use this lapse in logic to convince me that hurting so bad like i do when i get to see so many different colours beneath my skin is actually what i wanted this whole time! there must be some kind of drug out there that makes pain feel physically good, like makes it into a nice sensation? well theres good old fashioned pain killers and drugs that make you euphoric. they even come as one drug sometimes! how convenient :)
honestly if im being real, every time im watching some video about the crimes of the cia and they start describing some of the torture methods … loosens my tie uncomfortably . especially the ones where lsd is involved. it would be so awesome for someone to slip me a high dose of lsd (ive only done very low doses cause im Broke) and keep me confined to one room where they have full control of me, then condition me however they like .. thatd be so awesome. its such a waste that a government agency was doing all that research into mind control for what, espionage? clearly those methods would be better served with perverts….
ideally, i would try to find a medication that numbs you out rather than increasing your distress. (though, that would definitely be fun for a while). most likely i would start with the original antipsychotics. antipsychotics lower dopamine and the older ones are known for having much worse side effects (which says something cuz the modern ones still cause brain damage and lots of shit). it wasnt uncommon for people to get put on them, then be "better" because of how much quieter and cooperative they would become. sounds like a perfect first step to creating a zombie, doesnt it?
that numbness would be irritating. it would feel like its grinding down on your soul, eating it away bit by bit. you would crave sensation. the pain would be a nice change from the hazy dullness that fills your mind. to add on to that, i would give you something euphoric during the times i hurt you most. build a positive association and all that. eventually, i would stop giving you the fun drugs and let that cloud take over fully.
honestly... i think conditioning someone via lsd would be nearly impossible. i suppose it could be done since theres a lot of cults that have used psychedelics but theres other drugs that would be much better for that purpose.
