Don't patronize me. I've already expressed a small amount of the experiences I've had and I have studied the subject extensively. There's a difference between never seeing a doctor again and being the happy, normal, drugged up stereotype the world is becoming.
I don't care if it's prescription or not, if the only thing you've got to give you hope is a pill you are showing a HUGE symptom of a horrible and devestating disease that NEVER goes away and you should seek help. If you can't find happiness anywhere other than a pill, that is NOT something that should be excused or encouraged. And don't tell me I don't understand unless you take a look inside my mind and recognize the life crippling depression I've been battling for the past 10+ years. Without relying on a colorful pill to make me happy for a few hours. Handing somebody a pill is not helping them. It never helped me and it's done way more harm than good with every single one of the people I've seen go through treatment for any kind of depression. Drugging somebody is not taking care of the problem.
THe LAST thing they prescribe? You walk into a doctors office and they've got books all over the place explaining the wonders of drugs. The pens have logos from drug company A and the pads of paper have logos from drug company B. The last thing? I'm not sure where you go to the doctor or what kind of psychological clinics you've toured, but every drug from a to b is advertised and glorified.
We DO live in a society that glorifies drugs- both legal and illegal. We live in a culture where it's more rare to NOT be on prescription drugs, regardless of your age, to be on them.
Actually, the last thing Doctors do now-a-days is prescribe drugs, they try to use alternatives.
I'd rather be off my tits on prescription drugs and getting better than suffering from excruciating pain.

| September 12th, 2009 at 06:21pm I think it would be very interesting to try magic mushrooms. I think drugs are very dangerous, but only as much as driving a car, which most people do anyway. I think that drugs are amazing; the way they effect your mind is just unbelievable. Ridiculously interesting. Almost magic, though I guess that's because I don't know much science. I've taken acid before and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I just find it wonderful and fascinating that something can do that to my brain. It's amazing.
But yeah. Drugs are bad. Don't do them. |

 Age: - Gender: - Posts: 973 | September 12th, 2009 at 09:16pm Its one thing to consider your own state of mind before taking them, but think about the people that are around you too, and how they're going to react to you.
It sounds silly, but I speak from experience.
I don't think I'd ever do them tbh. The poisonous aspect doesn't appeal to me either. |
