“I knew there was never anyone to blame when people get into drugs. They’re always responsible for their own behavior, and it’s not the dealer, it’s not the friend, it’s not the bad influence, it’s not the childhood.” - Anthony Kiedis Scar Tissue

![“When you’re using drugs, you’re driven by this mystical black energy, a force inside you that just won’t quit. And the weaker you get, the more you feed into that energy, and the more it fucks with you. When your spirit becomes dark and your lifestyle becomes dark, your existence is susceptible to infiltration by dark spirits. I’ve seen it so many times with addicts. You can see that they’re controlled by dark energy, the way they look, their appearance, their voice, their behavior, it’s not them.” - Anthony Kiedis [Scar Tissue]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/9271ab1414f37fe4779c9a8323f93abe/tumblr_mlo8xgCRnf1qfgn79o1_500.jpg)
