Am I the only one?

I've seen a lot of talk recently about performance-enhancing drugs taken by generally healthy people.

And it absolutely infuriates me.

I've felt the same in the past about people taking painkillers for pleasure; it's no different with the various concentration-type drugs (ritalin, etc.) that are growing more popular with the teen and 20s set by the day.

Again, "appropriation" doesn't feel the right word. But I can't think of quite any other. When I try to dig down to the root of my feelings on this, it comes down to: I have to take this shit every day just to be able to get by, to be able to do half the shit you do and still be in a fuckload of pain. And you're seriously going to sit there and take it to get high? Or, worse, to make you perform better than you already do?

You stupid fucks, can't you just fucking appreciate what you have?

I don't know if that's entirely rational. I know there is some ableist bullshit in there (i.e. how the abled default is centered as the good and perfect with the differently-abled as deficient) but at the same time, I really, honestly think there is something problematic about it. Not necessarily inherent in the act of using these substances itself, maybe just in the lack of recognition that these people are already incredibly advantaged and privileged and they just refuse to see that.

I don't know. Does this make sense to anybody else? Do you feel the same way or am I being ridiculous? What do you think?
