Pinch 357 Report post Posted September 5 I'll moderate the upcoming Forty vs. Ghost bout, maybe even quell it: Knives and paint have uses other than self-harm and getting high. Distilled whiskey, not as much, connosseurs excepted. /Asparagus Rex, dinosaur and peace-keeper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveFord 500 Report post Posted September 5 You're probably better off. Caffeine withdrawal is REALLY bad. I gave up after 1 day and back to coffee it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mihcmac 672 Report post Posted September 5 "Kids are different today" I hear ev'ry mother say Mother needs something today to calm her down And though she's not really ill There's a little yellow pill She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day Doctor please, some more of these Outside the door, she took four more What a drag it is getting old "Life's just much too hard today" I hear ev'ry mother say The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jvi 83 Report post Posted September 6 I believe "mothers little helper " came from a doctor, many of the current drug problems started at the doctors office NOT just on street corners from shady creeps. Over prescribing raked in millions and killed or led many to the dark side. YES I value doctors, most not all... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what they use to put you under for major surgery! A fairly unique approach to treating insomnia. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortyearspickn 369 Report post Posted September 6 Anti-depressants which, if you stop taking them suddenly, will drive you into a depression so deep - you might intentionally OD on something else. And some people will blame the gun, and not the big, fat, rich pharma-billionaire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghost_of_fl 240 Report post Posted September 6 'Big Pharma' is supposed to be able to rely on the doctors to dispense medications responsibly. The prescription pad Dr Murray used is supposed to be really hard to get a hold of. At least here in New York it is. The prescriptions are numbered and registered to a specific doctor. For killing one of the most famous musicians of all time, Dr Murray served two years of a four-year prison sentence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uncle fester 427 Report post Posted September 6 Peace to all who's struggling with it. I got a nephew who got messed up with heroin, now he has a baby, no license, new job every month and a crack whore girl who's the mother of the baby. So, good luck to all, addiction sucks.

Seems like a lot of people die from using alcohol. It's just another drug, right? Do you support banning alcohol? We tried that once in the US. It was a huge success. I work as a therapist and this statistic is absolutely right. However, nowadays everyone can get a chance to overcome abuse. For years of work I have had a lot of patients and I had period in my life, when I was using drugs, but my counselor helped me to become myself again. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
