Questions Specifically for Jim, Part 3
the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
--- Quote from: Stark on May 04, 2010, 01:26:42 PM ---I recognize that the source got nuked, but there ought to be at least a crapton of ThreeEye junkies running about with WICKED cravings and crazy nightmares. At the very least the sheer torture of withdrawal would attract a metric crapton on Skavises. Skavi. Skavisises. Whatever.
So what happened to the drug addicts?

I don't recall anything saying it was particularly addictive.

Um, it's been a little while since I've read SF, but didn't they say it was insanely addictive?

We get a great description from Monica Sells of how much a person craves the three eye even after the first time they take it. Victor Sells forced her to take it, so Monica knows what she's talking about. That happens near the end of Storm Front when Harry visits her at her house. Sorry, don't have the book in front of me so I can't provide a page number.

OK, let me rephrase.
I remember the experience of the Sight brought on by the drug being compelling. I do not remember the drug being physically addictive.
I may be misremembering.

I'm a social worker.
Psychologically addicting things are just as dangerous as physically addicting ones. Addictions to things like gambling, internet posting, and sex (to name a few common ones, and no I'm not joking about the internet thing) are just as psychologically damaging when suddenly removed as things that are physically addicting.
But that's just my SCIENCE talking.
