It is recognized in most nations that       aspirin can be bought by anyone with the money.               Not all states recognize the right to alcoholic       beverages which are essentially addictive narcotic drug       carriers but those that do though they may have problems       with the addiction and with the lapses of judgment that       alcohol is well known for provoking find that prohibition       of alcohol causes more problems for their alcohol tolerant       culture than legalizing alcoholic beverages. I liked       to use alcohol when I was younger but gave it up purely       because it cost money I needed for other purposes.        I overused salicyclates shortly after that and       became allergic to them. Most of the substitutes for       aspirin and other salicyclates are even more toxic       and when medical cannabis became legal I began to use       it to supplement my Naproxen Sodium.               It can be shown that the vast majority of recreational       drugs are safer than the salicyclic drugs or even alcohol it       should be clear that most drugs should be legal and made       available in various forms.               Even those drugs derived from opium are safer than       alcohol. It is strange that these old drugs have multiplied       with long-term release versions that seem to be intensely       addictive. It seems that the "ethical" pharmaceutical       companies disregard the probability of ordinary folks       with chronic pain getting addicted to their products.               I find opiate addiction to laughable but perhaps       long term use of illegal drugs changes the brain to make       it harder to get your own endorphin production started again.        I myself have used strong opiate pain killers when       I suffered twice a broken right arm, and when I suffered a 'dry       socket. I simply used as little drug as possible then quit       using when i did not need it any longer to control pain.               People have a right to use whatever drugs they require       for functionality and a right for those drugs to be pure and       free of more poisonous contaminants.               I see this is addressed to t.p guns and I am a lifetime       member of the NRA which is far to the right of me. If you       respect your own life and the lives of your loved ones you       definitely have a right to use those arms in defense.        I see it goes to alt.drugs.abuse and I have to say       that like guns, drugs must be treated with respect, not       abused. It is the user who not respecting themselves who       abuse themselves with the drugs.        It also goes to rec.drugs.smart but how does that work       Do you get smarter and beat people or computers at intellectual       games?                bliss - 78.5 year old retired nurse                              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
