The Lotus-eaters

The Lotus-eaters or [Lotophagi] were a group of people who lived solely to be intoxicated by the fruit of the Lotus. Lotus fruit is apparently a narcotic substance derived from the flower, this island was located off of the North African coast and was populated by the lotus flowers and the lotus-eaters, who refused to stop eating the Lotus. When Odysseus' men arrived on this island they had great difficulty leaving. The narcotic induced a sleepless trance of apathy and sloth. This attitude made most of them chemically dependent. After realizing they might have a problem, they joined Narcotics Anonymous. It was now only a matter of time before they were able to recover. "My name is Euryklos, I am a Lotus-Eater..."
