More reflexion upon just how insane our drug policy is...

[Psynaught]

So for the last year and a half I have had severe cystic acne on my head and now folliculitis. I have been seeing a Dermatologist for more than a year now and this guy guards his drugs more tightly than a pain specialist guards opioids from a heroin addict. Partly it is federal policy...I had to go through the "I promise" program and go through tons of paperwork to get accutane....and constantly swear and sign documents promising I would not get pregnant....and I am a guy...yeah, not making this up.

Then monthly bloodwork and often the doc would screw up my paperwork so some months I had to make multiple trips to the lab. It was just crazy...and expensive. The Accutane did not work and it was like pulling teeth just to get an anti fungal, and then more tele visits (and he charged a fortune for a 5 minute phone visits). I have lost about 40% of my hair and trying to get on Dapsone....which he promised me 3 weeks ago and then refused to fill the script until I came in to see him. He had bloodwork and the scientific literature says you take Dapsone for a week and then do more bloodwork. He was supposed to put me on last week, and then do bloodwork when I see him one week later (next week) but his staff refused. My bloodwork has always been perfect, BTW.

I realize now that his strategy has been to maximize the money he makes off me, but just thought I would share how doctors refusal to give needed medicine to patients has spread far beyond just opioids and Benzos.

I realize now that his strategy has been to maximize the money he makes off me, but just thought I would share how doctors refusal to give needed medicine to patients has spread far beyond just opioids and Benzos.

This has been my experience with some doctors (but thankfully the one I have been seeing since November 2020 is great). Indeed it is true that medical control and abuse of patients has spread far beyond. You should read my story, I posted it back in August 2020. It was an absolute shitshow and I believe they were simply weaponizing my mental health against me or at least that's how I felt about the situation.

Their refusal to give URGENTLY needed medicine...however, many of these same doctors are more than happy to cut a baby boy's penis for no reason other than the parents requested it. This has changed how much I respect the medical profession and not in a good way at all either. It's also eroded my respect for the law as well, which makes matters so much worse. It's like you don't have any claim to decent health, not perfect health but halfway decent health.

This is why I promote the right to die peacefully on your own terms. I think everyone should have access to a lethal dose of a strong barbiturate hidden somewhere in their cupboards or bedroom. It's only like 5 years ago that NSW Australia (where I live) officially legalised abortion. Crazy, right? One would have thought it was legal for decades, but you'd be dead wrong. It was in 2018 when women could be guaranteed immunity from any chance of prosecution (especially malicious prosecution - which has happened in QLD as recently as within the last 20 years). Yes, unbelievable but that's what governments whose citizens have not curtailed their power and control usually do - subjugate people and infantilize them. Luckily the same guy that legalized abortion also legalized voluntary euthanasia - but IMHO that law doesn't go far enough. One shouldn't need to be terminal in order to secure a lethal dose. They should need only have a condition that they find insufferable. Period.

I keep hearing that human rights are advancing, but then I reflect on my own experiences and can only say that they really are not. It's all just appearances. Everyone should make it a point, and an exercise of their most basic human rights, to secure life-ending drugs for their own personal use. Because one not ever knows when their luck will simply run out through no fault of their own in spite of all their volition and all their grace - up to that end point.

We have such a long, long way to go.
