No, no, bro that's why I tried to point out that I new what you meant and also that this wasn't me responding personally to you or Talo. More of a general thing on the subject matter.
Of course I agree with you completely on what you said about depression and whatnot. But on reading that, I think also you may have be thinking that those today's drugs are like lithium. Far from it. For those who really need it, like we are saying, most of the common antidepressasnts have few if any side effects and what effects there are go away as the dosage is dialed in and you get used to it. The majority of people who benefit from them are not walking around feeling doped up.
I don't want this to be me defending drugs though
. Just making a point.
I agree about doctors overprescribing anti-depressants. Frankly that happens a lot with GP's. And, to me, they have NO BUSINESS prescribing those types of drugs. They don't know enough about them or how to manage them...not to mention whether they will even take the time to manage them properly since most are completely overbooked. Only psychiatrists should be dealing that stuff, imo.
I take it you're talking about steroids and recreational drugs in regards to scheduling, lol, and not just any drug ever invented
. Wouldn't want people to walk around willy-nilly self treating. They'd be dropping dead like flies. Some kid could slip my kid a mickey in the lunch room. I don't think most people should be allowed to drive a car, let alone get drugs.
It snowed like shit yesterday and the roads were as treacherous as I've ever seen them. But that didn't stop mister invincible in his SUV from tailgating me on a busy city road, and then, pass me on the double yellow so he could race though a yellow light. People are mostly stupid, bro. Far as I'm concerned, I'm glad that guy doesn't have easy access to cocoaine. He's a pepped up enough asshole as it is and again, my son was in the car. I have a profound desire to pound that guy to a pulp. I would have needed my seatbelt had he hit me and I damn sure was wearing it. He, on the other hand, would have been fine. Should I have to buy a tank I can't afford the gas far so I can be protected from fucking idiots? Hey, it ain't a perfect world but the government already "serves" guys like that enough, as far as I'm concerned.
Guess that doesn't win me any friends either
