okay, sure.... but how can you, in the same breath, blanket condemn prescription drugs across the board and wrap it up in a neat government conspiracy package?
You can't. Because some things simply cannot be fixed without them. Case in point: A few years ago I came down with a major case of hives. I was put on Prednisone to fix it. All the willpower and positive thinking in the world was not going to get rid of it. Did you know you can DIE from freaking hives? Anyway, Prednisone is a pretty strong steroid. For me, it saved my ass. For others, it is something to be abused.
Carrying this over to
illegal drugs, I should also not blanketly condemn them either as I have in the past. For example: Weed. Now, if you have been prescribed pot to help you out with some sort of cancer or cataracts or something, then great... if it's gonna help you, then that's not a problem. But what is the reasoning for the REST of the potheads out there? "well, it's good shit man...." "it doesn't hurt no one man...." "you don't understand man....."
A steaming pile of feces if ya ask me. If you fall into that group, I'm sorry, but you are a drug abuser. Plain and simple.
For the majority of illegal drugs, such as LSD, PCP, Heroin, Ecstasy, Cocaine, etc.... there is a REASON they are illegal. There is a REASON you are not free to buy them off the shelf at freaking Walmart. And it's the same reason you can't buy Vicodine or Novacaine, or Morphine, or anything else that is routinely PRESCRIBED.
Because drug users will abuse the holy fucking shit out of it. Either themselves, or by selling it, or both.
And this is what users fail to comprehend. The only thing they see is someone trying to bring them down, infringe on some imagined freedom, and ruin their good time.
