We have a drugged society. It makes you vote for Marxists.
Could have been the Adderall, could have been schizophrenia.
14 million? That would be about 5% of the population. 5 in 100 people? It shouldn’t be 5 in 10,000. That makes me think of the old TV show “The Weakest Link”. We sure are growing a flock of weak links. Trying to make productive citizens out of a pack of pill heads is probly not do-able. Does this qualify them for a Kenyan check for disabobblebility?
I do have sympathy to a certain extent because I constantly consider the option of taking any and all kinds of legal drugs there are in order to make myself numb and not feel anything. It is easy to see the appeal in that, it often seems like the only way to make pain and mental illness go away.
As addictive as cocaine? Really? "Addictive" means there are withdrawal symptoms. I've been on it for years. So has my adult daughter. Sometimes she or I will run out of it before we can get to the doctor for a new prescription (since the law requires a fresh, written, non-electronic prescription, no renewals). Days or even weeks go by before we can get a new prescription. We might be a little more sleepy, less energetic and focused, less attentive and on the ball, but we don't have withdrawal symptoms, go into convulsions, rob the pharmacy, shoot up a school, or have an emotional breakdown.
last week sitting in the doctors office waiting for the three allergy shots to be given. there is a guy on harley davidson pulls in walks up to the window for receptionist. In a loud voice I need my Adderall filled and my Prozac filled, or I am going to be deathly ill. The psychiatric Nurse practitioner is not here today, she is another facility that is 60 miles away. I hate that they moved her office over here with the family and all the crippled people practice. Kept on repeating he needed his adderall and prozac. i simply motioned to the receptionist i am going outside, wheeled my quickie wheelchair out the door, took a look at this harley davidson nice bike but what a loud mouth! I had to refrain from wanting to literally to pick up a disabled leg and shove it up his backside!
Another big Pharm poison.
