They tempt me with violence They punish me with ideals And they crush me with an image of my life that’s nothing but unreal Except on the goddamned slaveship of failure
I’ll drown here trying to get up for some air But each time I think I breathe I’m laid on with a double share of the punishing burden of failure
I don’t deserve to be down here But I’ll never leave And I’ve learned one thing You can’t escape the beast In the null and void pit of failure

i fear that i totally don’t know what poeple treat like hideousness u_u
Beautiful Perspective of the Day: Infographic on drug-related deaths vs. proportion of users vs. media coverage in the UK, prepared by David McCandless of Information Is Beautiful for a Guardian blog article on the subject.
Note on cannabis-related deaths:
The cannabis deaths figure is a bit dubious in my opinion. Firstly, how can you die from cannabis? It’s extremely non-toxic. There has never been a single documented case of fatal cannabis overdose. Also, the government’s own figures don’t tally. While drug figures from the Office Of National Statistics register 19 cannabis related deaths, the mortality stats from the same office log only 1 death.
