Mike Corey Instagram – My thoughts on smoking & drinking…
Over 10 years I’ve been to close to 100 countries, and I’ve noticed this above all else: We all sing, we all dance, and we all like to get a little f***ed up.

Tea in Mauritania 🇲🇷
Tabacco in Turkey 🇹🇷
Ayahuasca in Peru 🇵🇪
Be it caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, or some local blend of “herbs & spices”. All people in all cultures smoke, drink, or inhale something to relax or something to get lifted.
I’ve heard it’s to press mute on the voice inside. An attempt to live freely and honestly for a few brief moments while our egos are distracted.
I’ve heard it’s to tune into the spirits of past and present. To gather wisdom to help the village. To speak to our ancestors.
I’ve heard it’s for energy and motivation. To get the job done. To turn in the work on time.
I’ve also heard it’s purely just for fun.
I’m a full time adventure traveller. I’ve learned that if I can find it in every corner of the planet, there must be something more to it, and it’s fundamental to the human experience.
So pick your poison, and as Bourdain put it:
“Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride”
