Do you think if a controller gets high does the yeerk also get to enjoy the high
I'm going to say yes, if for no other reason than Edriss's smug confidence that (it's implied) she's keeping Jenny Lines quiet with cocaine, and the contrast to her being way too invested in humanity. I don't think we see yeerks drunk, but we do see that poisoning a host will at least temporarily poison the yeerk (e.g. #21). So I think that yeerks can get high, and tbh I don't think they're protected by the blood-brain barrier.
That said, I love the headcanon that yeerks are confidently wrong about that. Sort of the way that for decades psychiatrists were like "of course I am just a neutral observer, I do nothing whatsoever to influence my clients" until ginormous heaps of evidence started piling up that psychiatrists can accidentally give clients memories or even entire mental illnesses. It's easy to assume that you're superior and just an observer, even in the face of contradictory evidence, and I think the yeerks would have that assumption.

If someone is suicidal or uses drugs, your criticism should not be directed at them. It should be directed at the people who traumatized them.
Drug users and suicidal people are not stupid, crazy, criminal, selfish, or any other dehumanizing thing you want to say about them. They're traumatized. The only solution is to create a society that's less traumatizing.
Everyone who is suicidal or uses drugs already knows that it's "not the solution". They've heard that many times. You're not making some amazing revelation by telling them that. If you want to help them, show them that you understand their pain.

(please like if you read. and it would mean a lot to me if you read.)
————————
My body and my mind have been sick lately
So my sleep schedule has been fucked.
3am is a normal time to wake.
And just before the sun rises,
I find a couple of dollars
And I put some gas in my tank and I buy a cheap iced coffee,
And I drive and I watch the sun come up
While I listen to music that makes my friends sad.
And as I’m standing at the pump and overdrawing my bank account to put a few dollars of gas in my car,
And my speakers are playing a song about wanting to kill my father with a baseball bat,
I see a man around my age walking towards the gas station,
From out of the shadows of the distant sidewalk
Into the harsh light.
And he’s wearing an oversized sweatshirt and baggy sweatpants and he’s walking alone through the dark to a gas station at 5 in the morning to buy a lighter
And some part of me registers that this is a man who others may feel nervous about him approaching them through the darkness.
But in him I see myself.
And I miss being a meth addict.
And I miss his world. And I miss dragging myself, dirty and beaten, to the nearest gas station at 5 in the morning with loose change in my pocket to buy myself a lighter so that I can smoke my meth pipe.
And I get back in my car that’s still playing a song about wanting to kill my father with a baseball bat.
And I try to think about what it is I’m missing.
And I think of rooms of faces,
Painful, terrible, beautiful faces,
Where every person there understands exactly what it’s like to be at a gas station at 5 in the morning listening to a song about wanting to kill your father with a baseball bat.
And you don’t have to think about it.
You don’t have to talk about it.
They just hand you a pipe
And a lighter
And the pain goes away.
And I drive to pick up my iced coffee
And I don’t feel as bad about the iced coffee as I thought I would.
It’s only two dollars, after all.
And it’s easy to find two dollars, even when you have nothing else.
You can find two dollars in a lot of places.
In your couch.
In old jacket pockets.
In the kindness of a stranger.
And I’ve been hoarding loose change for years.
I keep it in my grandpa’s old ammunition box from the war.
The box where I keep one of the shells from the guns they fired at his and grandma’s funeral.
The box where I keep a dirty rusty nail that someone gave me in rehab.
Someone who didn’t make it, but I did.
The box where I keep the smooth pretty blue stone that the other patients passed around on my last day, that they held close to their hearts as they wished me strength on my journey. As they told me that I was strong and that I was going to make it.
And it’s the box where I keep my loose change
For iced coffee
And meth lighters.
It’s easy to find two dollars.
Your mom will give you two dollars
If you tell her it’s for iced coffee
And not meth lighters.
Your mom will give you two dollars
If you promise it’s not to kill yourself.
And in the drive thru the girl asks me to please wait a moment, she has to refill the coffee.
And I tell her it’s okay, really, no rush.
And she thanks me
And tells me she appreciates me.
And I think about all the jobs I’ve had
Where I had to ask a customer to please wait a moment
So I could do something important
Like refill the coffee
Or use heroin in the bathroom.
And when she hands me my iced coffee I say thank you
And I tell her “I appreciate you too”.
And I see her face fall, briefly,
As she is stunned by my words
Taken aback by this brief, fleeting moment of genuine kindness and connection.
And just as quickly she smiles at me
Truly smiles
And says thank you.
And I hurry and drive away, so she can deal with the rest of the cars in line
Many of which are running late for work
And who will blame her for it.
And I take my drive.
And I watch the sun rise.
And I listen to music that makes my friends sad.
And when I come home
I wash down my antidepressants with what’s left of my iced coffee
And I think about how I don’t miss being a meth addict.
I am a meth addict
Without his pipe.

It’s important to remember that people who use drugs deserve to be loved, safe, healthy and housed. Even if they want to continue using drugs.

An x-ray showing needles that had broken off in the neck of a heroin addict. After the veins in the patient’s arms, legs, chest, abdomen and forehead had all collapsed, he began to inject himself subcutaneously. He then began to inject himself into the neck and would use the same needles until they broke off inside the skin. Broken needles inside the skin of drug users are not uncommon. One study indicated that at least 20% of drug users have experienced a needle breaking off inside the skin.

Scientists in Brazil, the world's second-biggest consumer of cocaine, have announced the development of an innovative new treatment for addiction to the drug and its powerful derivative crack: a vaccine. Dubbed "Calixcoca," the test vaccine, which has shown promising results in trials on animals, triggers an immune response that blocks cocaine and crack from reaching the brain, which researchers hope will help users break the cycle of addiction. Put simply, addicts would no longer get high from the drug. ​If the treatment gets regulatory approval, it would be the first time cocaine addiction is treated using a vaccine, said psychiatrist Frederico Garcia, coordinator of the team that developed the treatment at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. ​The project won top prize last week – 500,000 euros ($530,000) – at the Euro Health Innovation awards for Latin American medicine, sponsored by pharmaceutical firm Eurofarma. ​The vaccine works by triggering patients' immune systems to produce antibodies that bind to cocaine molecules in the bloodstream, making them too large to pass into the brain's mesolimbic system, or "reward center," where the drug normally stimulates high levels of pleasure-inducing dopamine.
