I'm Ok, You're Ok, the Caterpillar's Ok.
Check out this awesome story I read on National Geographic about self-medicating caterpillars!
"Some caterpillars munch on drug-laced leaves to rid themselves of crippling parasites, a new study finds."
This story makes me feel a little better about myself for self-medicating. Maybe I am just smoking and drinking in order to make myself unsavory to predators or to help rid my body of crippling parasitic stuff that's trying to live in me. It's nice to think that it's a perfectly natural biological phenomenon for some organisms to get fucked up, but within reason. Purge out all of the stress and no fun that eats away at our insides. Perhaps I am just like the woolly-bear caterpillar; I now just need to metamorphose into a moderately poisonous butterfly.
