YOU, my friend, is the only person on this planet who gets a certified report on what is contained in your street drugs, each time you score. Does the report include the country that grew it and under what conditions? Is it straight or has it been laced or "stepped on" In all fairness, I think you know what I mean. I don't promote the use of any drug, per scribed or not... unless it is necessary and one is being monitored for any sight effects. Oh, BTW, what is in your lettuce?

If you are talking about opiates --prescribed or not-- i agree 110%. However, in addition to internally-induced remedies like meditation, I am an avowed advocate for at least one externally-induced remedy: marijuana. No doubt, it can be abused and lead to problems (not the least of which can be with the Legal System), but unlike opiates (and many other drugs), it is not physically addictive, and has few physiological drawbacks. Doctors are very quick to prescribe drugs to address a problem ...which all too often lead to more, or compounded problems in the long run. "Alternatives" like meditation or marijuana or (from what i have heard, but haven't yet tried) acupuncture, are off-radar for your typical MD, despite centuries of proven benefits. Hopefully, that and the attitude that "Doctors are all-knowing and never-to-be-questioned" is fading so non-snakeoil alternatives can be considered seriously. There's a lot of propaganda out there that promotes that which can harm you and bashes that which can help. Information is your best defense and doing *anything* without it is just begging for problems.
