CarnageBlender as an Addiction (in Off-topic)

Disclaimer: I'm bored, and thought I'd compare the symptoms of CB and cocaine addiction. While the information on cocaine is accurate, according to addiction control sites, the parallels drawn between the two may be exaggerated.

What are the Effects of Cocaine?
...cocaine usually makes the user feel euphoric, energetic, talkative, and mentally alert, especially to the sensations of sight, sound, and touch. It can also temporarily decrease the need for food and sleep. Some users find that the drug helps them to perform simple physical and intellectual tasks more quickly, while others can experience the opposite effect.

Users often report feelings of restlessness, irritability, and anxiety, and cocaine can trigger paranoia. Users also report being depressed when they are not using the drug and often resume use to alleviate further depression. In addition, cocaine users frequently find that they need more and more cocaine more often to generate the same level of stimulation. Therefore, any use can lead to addiction. [Cocaine Abuse and Addiction]

Sound familiar? "[CarnageBlender] usually makes the user feel euphoric, energetic, talkative... It can also temporarily decrease the need for food and sleep [!!!]... feelings of restlessness, irritability, and anxiety...
Users also report being depressed when they are not using [CarnageBlender]...users frequently find that they need more and more [CarnageBlender] more often to generate the same level of stimulation. Therefore, any use can lead to addiction."

Prices:
In 2001, the wholesale price for powder cocaine ranged from ... $20 to $200 per gram. Prices for crack cocaine ranged from $3 to $50 per rock, with prices usually ranging from $10 to $20. [ Office of National Drug Control]
Pretty close to the cost of supportership, isn't it? Take a look at the recent forum post: How much USD have you spent or made on the game? Amazing and frightening! We all need help! Check into your nearest CBPA (CB Players Anonymous) today!
