I did that in highschool. Are you a bio major or something? I take it you're in college?
Chemistry major, but I still need the biologies. In Gen Bio I right now at a junior college. Gonna take Gen Bio II, A&P I &II, and Micro here probably before I go to a uni...Bummer I can't take genetics (it's not offered as it's a 300 level course). In my high school, all we had to dissect in my biology class my freshman year was an owl pellet. I'm that the A&P class they offered dissected cats though.
I was making an A in Chem II this past summer until I got switched to bupe patches and was in withdrawal for two weeks and then eventually landed me locked up in a psych ward because I couldn't take it anymore and took (all my own Rx except the morphine) 44mg of clonazepam, 60mg of MS-Contin, and 50mg of quetiapine (I was pissed off because I had lost the same amount of morphine I took in a brand new pack of smokes, so I took the seroquel trying to calm my rage before class). Ended up starting to black out in class from not feeling high at all, couldn't stop drooling or keep my head up, so I got sent home, got up while still blacked out from the couch, pissed on the floor and then collapsed in it, so an ambulance was called - didn't even have respiratory depression according to my sister (that's a RN), just blacked out. I have an incomplete in the course now, but can make it up as long as I do so within a year from the grade getting turned in, and that teacher loves me so she's allowing me to. Perhaps it was because I was the only one who was actually passionate about the class. I wasn't just taking it for the credit.
Sorry for bringing drugs back into it, but it is kinda of the opposite of glorification lol.
edit: To further the topic we've gotten to the last session of labs which are all dissection besides an ethics debate at the end and thus far we've dissected a toad and a perch in addition to the fetal pig and we have a pigeon left to do...then the debate (*shudders* panic disorder/social phobia is not going to go well there me thinks as it's 5 different topics with 3 people on each side of the argument, so it's not like it's a class-wide discussion lol).
@rhun: lol, I do use a lot of different medications, but I have medical needs for them and can totally relate to your post on the "no noticeable effects" part. Fuck, I'll take stuff that I'm not Rx'ed for pain (like vicodin) and drink a CWE of 14 norcos to not feel anything but itch and opi rage (but I get the pain relief, and that's what I'm wanting from it) lol. And ya...it's irritating to come in here and see people getting blasted on stuff that wouldn't take care of my wisdom tooth extraction pain lol...
I will say though that I do take benzos to get fucked up on occasion. It just doesn't work out all that well for me. Tolerance is a bitch and can land you blacking out before feeling anything, so sorry if me saying taking 28mg of clonazepam seemed like glorification a few pages back. Trust me, there was nothing glorious about that night at all and was actually quite a costly one financially and physically lol. Was just posting about my day and I'm sorry about that as it tends to piss people off -shrugs-.
ITT: Wall of text loses 'em. lmfao.
edit: and don't go blaming stimulants, the only stimulants I've had in the past two weeks are nicotine and caffeine, so suck it lol. I blame sleep deprivation.
