Can words be used as drugs?

I just saw this on pnosis.com and I had to copy it.

“Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.” -- Rudyard Kipling

I think words can be used like drugs. I get high listening to some authors, like Deepak Choprah, John O'Donohue, and Marianne Williamson. I guess that's why I keep listening to The Love Trilogy tapes! See previous article, entitled "Check it out," for the audio-book review.
