MJ is a right hemisphere drug. But we live in a left hemisphere culture. Too much time in the right hemisphere may atrophy one's ability in exist within the left hemisphere needs of culture. But on the other hand, too much time in the left hemisphere can limit one's ability to make use of the right hemisphere. If this becomes unconscious, the compulsions merely project elsewhere, often into religion, fads and irrational causes.

Back in the 60's-70's, MJ was part of the alternate reality associated with eastern mysticism. This amounts to right hemisphere thinking. The young people became increasingly rooted in the right hemisphere and the adults in the left hemisphere resulting in the generation gap. The slogan was don't trust anyone over 30. The barrier slowly dissolved until culture once again became predominantly left hemisphere with social taboos on right hemisphere inductions like MJ.
