LOL, I was just thinking that I wonder if once medical marijuana came to Iowa, I wondered if I could take it with my xyrem at night. lol. I'm an old hippie from the 60s. so I have no fear of MJ, however, there are a whole lot of nasty drugs out there, most of which can ruin someone's life.
While I wouldn't wish N on anyone, if they have it, they should be given a chance to try Xyrem. I don't under stand where your dislike of Xyrem comes from. Its not addicting, I stopped cold turkey once when my insurance got messed up for a couple of weeks. I just got sleepier and sleepier every day. I have no horrible side effects. I have lost a lot of weight that I needed to lose to be healthier, due to my body making more HGH. I sometimes think that Xyrem is the chemical that my body was needing all these years. I don't have problems with salt, I have no BP spikes, I have no problems at all with it. So I always wonder if my body has been searching for Xyrem for most of my life.
No medicine is 100% safe. there can be side effects for any medicine. Look at the difficulties with tylenol. aspirin has a lot, even vitamin E can be dangerous if you take too much. Vitamin A? Look it up. I know a woman that is violently allergic to zyrtec. I can't take penicillin. there are good effects and sometimes bad effects to any medicine in the world. Believe in holistic medicine? GHB used to be sold in health food stores for pennies for a sleep elixir. |

Alcohol, marijuana, and lately, prescription pain meds are called "gateway" drugs. When I was a kid, people would either start smoking MJ or drinking a lot, then move on to cocaine, hashish, opium and heroin. Lives were ruined. Nowadays, kids start with alcohol, MJ or find vicodin in their parent's medicine cabinet. I read that Nyquil is another new gateway drug. Because it seems harmless and available. then people move on to harder stuff. I think alcohol is much worse than MJ. But then that's just my experience. I obviously didn't move on to harder stuff, and I am allergic to alcohol, so can't do that. Everybody is different and respond to things differently.
If I weren't a nurse...............and didn't have to take random urine tests...............LOL. |

Totally true
Jump on an adult PWN for taking amphetamines and give those same drugs to an infant for ADHD
Legal drugs getting a bad name or giving the patient a bad character label because it is abused on the street
Alcohol and caffeine excused from ridicule or complants because they are legal.
Anxiety and poor sleep are mainly a side effect of caffeine drinking by coffee and soda drinks full of caffeine
Truly the blend of illegal users and patients abusing legal drugs flows onto people with serious disorders needing these drugs |

This is the rhetoric that people memorize and spew like robots with respect to drugs.
I see this constantly in the medical field. People being unable to think for themselves or outside the box and simply regurgitate a script.
Marijuana ruined my life. I found cocaine to be a very tolerable drug.
People have different reactions to different drugs.
I consider marijuana to be a very hard drug, not a "gateway" drug. |
The concept of "gateway drugs" has been disproven over and over again. Some people have addictive personalities, some don't, but the fact that people with addiction tendencies are prone to trying multiple drugs in their quest for substance(s) of choice does not mean there is such a thing as a "gateway drug". There isn't. It's a fabricated concept from the morality-based anti-drug campaigns. A simple search for "gateway drug theory disprove" will yield a number of valid studies showing that there is no such thing as a "gateway drug". LIke you, I am amazed at the number of people who continue to parrot this fallacy as if it is fact. |

I have also wondered if tinnitus and bruxism are related. Given the proximity of the various tiny bones in that area to one another, it does make one wonder, doesn't it? |

I wish I knew, on both counts, because I would LOVE to be rid of it, myself. |

Why say this after all of your posts about the benefits of codeine, heroine, and oxycontin?
I see you are still making significant changes to those posts and thankfully removed some of the more inflammatory statements. Why do you feel compelled to mask your words? I respect everyone's opinion here, but I would prefer that we own up to our words. Most posts within a thread are built upon the posts that precede it. Such major changes can make the threads appear fragmented and undermine the TAS community responses within these threads. |
