ReplyDeleteJust a guess. Opiods (morphine, heroin, etc.) are most strongly associated with itching as they release histamine making users itchy. Crack and meth heads pick and scratch more than they itch.
ReplyDeleteScientists still don't completely understand why people itch, or what stimulates the urge. However, in Pop culture, "itching" is a slang demonstration of being addicted to a drug and needing more of it. Purely just an example of being controlled by an addiction.
...A well documented symptom of amphetamine or cocaine induced psychosis is the illusion of having worms crawling under your skin. Long term crack and meth addicts will also pick at themselves until the have scabs on their face and body. This could constitute itching and is a widely observed fact, not pop culture.
Methamphetamites are a itch.
ReplyDeleteI've always had sensitive skin which itches for no reason. I've never been anywhere near those drugs.
ReplyDeleteThere are bugs called no-see-ums.

I hope that's what was bothering him. I'm not of his generation but hate to see people succumbing to drugs.
A lot of Meth users see "bugs" crawling over them. Why people want to use something that makes your geek out is beyond me. So Joe is now a Meth head. Wow
ReplyDeleteDefinitely either heroin or meth. I'm leaning towards heroin.
