If you are considering posting here or in parallel threads, I ask that you consider what is in this post.
The aspect of controlling by the use of drugs has many ways that that could be done.
One way of controlling is to addict the subject given the drug. They then become controlled to come back to get more, for a price. This is an ancient way of controlling someone.
Here is a link to a post by a member here that says why they take the drug.
