T'Pol's Drug Use and New Theory

Hi Guys,
I've been re watching Enterprise lately and T'Pol's drug use really caught me attention and some people on other forums don't really understand it. So here is a brief explanation about T'Pols drug use and my personal theory as to how it would affect T'Pol's life after the Enterprise got put in mothballs. I would love to know what you guys think about how the Trillium D abuse would affect the rest of T'Pols life.

Oh hey guys, sorry I just noticed your comments.

Alright cliff note version. T'Pol's prolonged use not only permanently damaged her neural pathways and be able to connect to emotions and improve her relationship with the crew, but would make her want to return to Trillium D use. This goes back to the power of addiction and how even people who were addicted to drugs or alcohol frequently return to using even after years of clean living.

So after the Enterprise gets put into moth balls and Trip ends up dead she will feel the erg to return to Trillium use. This is when she realizes that other Vulcans have the desire to feel a more balanced level between logic and emotion. Such as the group from the episode "Fusion". She will also realize that there is now a large supply of Trillium that will not be used to insulate ships since the spacial distortions are now gone. So she will put two and two together and become a drug dealer to Vulcan's and would need to dodge the Vulcan government since they would undoubtedly want to stop her.

Thus making a great t.v. show which is a cross between Breaking Bad and Star Trek called.... wait for it... Star Bad.

I get that it's all about getting people to watch the video, but it'd be cooler if you at least hinted at the actual content so that we could discuss it here without having to click play.
 
I'd be more interested to know your theory if you had just written it here like everyone else does. Having it in video form makes me believe that you're more interested in getting clicks than actually theorizing why T'Pol is a junkie, especially since your posting history shows you've done this before.

I would think that after Trip's death T'Pol would want to experience less emotions (and therefor less pain) and pull back into her Vulcan stoic.

Ah, but on the other hand maybe she feels that that pain is her connection to Trip, or as an "emotion junkie" she doesn't care which emotions she feels, just that she feels some.
 
Roaming the dark streets of San Francisco dealing T.........that is depressing.
 
I always thought they should have had her smoke the space rock instead of shoot it. More authentic along with being down & dirty.

hehe I like it, but it made me wonder... there's lasers, phasers, plasma torches etc... on a day to day it seems they've mostly done away with fire (lighters, torches etc)... I vaguely recollect maybe some matches used for incense lighting.
