“Brave New World” Strikes Back

Leading researchers today at Nowhere Labs, Inc. have announced the final cure for drug addiction. Yes, these far seeing visionaries have finally created a way to get all those druggies off of cocaine, heroin, meth and a myriad of other hallucinatory drugs and back into society. The new drug, named after the drug “Soma” from the book Brave New World is everything that the fictional drug claimed to be.

The research team guarantees that this drug will provide a superior quality high, without any of the depressing effects of other drugs. Even better than that, the drug has none of the dangerous side-effects of the illegal drugs which people are using today.

Public acclaim of this new anti-drug, as they’re calling it, has been breathtaking. Many are talking about the potential destruction of the drug cartels, restoration of civil order, and reduction of Medicare costs in treating current drug users. It appears from everything being said about Soma, that it can do everything but walk on water. It’s even supposed to satisfy the users’ libido.

The Food and Drug Administration is fast-tracking approval of Soma through its system, seeing a potential cure for the millions of drug addicts and even more millions of recreational drug users in society. In carefully guarded statements they are declaring that once Soma hits the market, society’s health in general will be vastly improved.

While there are skeptics to the power of this new anti-drug, they’re voices are largely unheard, being drown out by the general clamor in favor of this technological breakthrough.

Even congress is getting behind the use of Soma, with a bill being introduced today which will provide for free distribution of it to anyone who even claims to be a casual drug user. Provisions in the bill prevent dispensing agencies from turning that information over to police or taking any legal action against those who are asking for their fair share of Soma.

This is a breakthrough day in America. We have finally reached the point where our entire society can be high 24/7 and do so safely, comfortably and free. Just think, being able to go to work or school while high and nobody can complain, because it’s government sanctioned. Yes, people will have a whole new outlook on life, finally being able to see everything through those proverbial rose colored glasses.

To those who are complaining about the inherit danger of having people work while under the influence of drugs, proponents are saying that they are trying to keep people as slaves. These people are obviously hate mongers and bigots, who want to prevent people from enjoying their lives. Proponents of Soma have declared loudly that they can’t understand such hateful actions, quoting that our constitution guarantees everyone citizen’s right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” “Here we are, offering happiness,” they say, “and these hate mongers are going against the constitution to declare it illegal.

It appears that the ways are greased for making Soma available to the general public. For now, there’s only a few elect people who are having the opportunity to be part of the field testing. So, if you’ll excuse me, reality is closing in, it must be time for my next dose.
