Like Bernard Marx, I may not take the Soma because I am a non-conformist myself. Not even my primary care physician can let me take a drug that I think is not doing me any good unless it is an antibiotic and I have to finish the full course of the medication so as to avoid the adverse effects of being non-compliant.
I somehow associate the imaginary drug Soma as a combination of Fluoxetine and Lorazepam. Would I take Prozac or Ativan? In my mind, I would say I have no need of any drug that would take me out of depression or anxiety but I do need coffee to keep me awake and sometimes half a tablet of Unisom to make me sleep. Most or all drugs have their adverse effects if they are misused.
I find the storyline of the Brave New World kind of corny for a futuristic novel. Maybe the imaginary drug that could make people feel extremely happy and cooperative has been around for decades and 2540 in the Gregorian calendar came too soon. I haven't taken any drugs similar to Soma for recreational use. As for anyone being forced to take psychoactive drugs, it can happen by peer pressure or in a lifestyle one chooses.
I don't know what the world be like if everyone took the drug.
