If you had ever had any pychological issues that were being ignored by your doctor you might find yourself in a similar positions. There but for the grace of God. I've had sleeping problems for twenty years & have consistently been unable to get prescibed for it. Twenty years. I'm very grateful for the occasional good nights sleep afforded by Etizolam,
I dispute that only vulnerable have an increased access to drugs. I don't consider myself vulnerable in any way.
Although the jury is out on the High Street Legal High thing, RC's bought through quasi-legal sites all over the planet are going to continue to wreak havoc. Pushing the whole business under the carpet & into the shadows is hardly likely to reduce harm. However, I accept that if the law change reduces or completely halts the sale of High Street Legal Highs, that might actually be a good thing...
The parents of a 13 yr old boy were on TV the other morning. The danger associated Legal Highs was epitomised by their story, but no-one, not interviewer nor parent, seemed in the slightest bit interested in asking WHY a 13 yr old kid would be interested in getting "high" in the first place. Until that question is answered, we'll still have hundreds of kids a year falling foul of hugely dangerous but incredibly easy-to-get-hold-of psychoactive chemicals like glue or duster, now that they can't get comparatively safe drugs such as Synthetic Cannabinoids....
I'm in favour of whatever reduces the availablity of harmful drugs to kids but I fail to see how driving the entire scene into the dark is going to do anything other than increase the harm from drugs. When this experiment begins, we'll begin to find out.
I dont post much. I just want to say that this extremely well written and illistrates a high-functioning brain.
When I was a kid in the US we were bombarded with an egg cracking and being fried and told this is your brain on drugs.
I was a timeshare salesman making 50k per year on avg. I got addicted to poppy pods after likingy vicodin too much.
I also had debilitating pain for years prior that adversely affected me on too many levels to list. Its incurable, according to the docs and there is no real treatment due in part its perceived rarity.
Since getting hooked on Poppy Pods I have built 2 businesses from being in the red to half a million dollar net profits. This pain caused me to not want to even interact with other humans.
Now I have competitors paying me for my services. I stayed at relatively the same dose for 3 years. A 33 percent increase from my initial dose.
My blood work is perfectly fine. I dont get colds or the flu. I have had ups and downs in my life in terms of women. I broke up with 2 who were probably going to be my future wife. I did so because I feared they would see my one day when my pain was at its worst. One could almost say I was bipolar because on my worst days I would barely talk, but on better days all of the effort I put into trying to appear as a normal person when even talking was close to impossible, seemed to create a rather quick-witted charming personality when pain was below a 4.
My social life is better than ever. I didnt use this drig to get high. Not to say I wouldnt throw an extra 25mg in once in a while for 'fun'.
I was on the brink of losing my house to foreclosure before this happened
Poppy pods are very expensive, yet I acheived so much financial success they became a drop in the bucket. I would even pay more for domestic orders to mitigate the risk of customs and a controlled delivery.
Long story short, during my 'addiction' I have acheived more business and social success than ever before. Im paying a lot more taxes now.
Im not a doctor guy but bought every supplement I thought had a chance to cure me. Maybe a doctor would have helped.me...Who knows.
One thing is for sure. Long-acting subtle opiates saved my house, 2 businesses, knocked 50lbs off my new partner now that his financial woes are gone thanks to my newfound or newly uncovered business skill and work ethic.
Its not perfect. With anythng there are drawbacks.
My PP vendor ran out and hasnt been able to re-stock. Thats why Im in the RC scene now. Havent been able to get the same results from anything out there. Im bit less worried of legal repercussions with my new substances(phenibut, etizolam) to name a few. Theyre also cheaper but more side effects and more crap days since I dont want to be dependent.
Anyway, I wanted to add a different take on quasi-legal drug use, as well as point out the fact that prohibition as well as prohibitive costs of our healthcare scam in the US probably cost me a chance to fully enjoy the best years of my life.
I went from barely making the rent. Long periods of drought with the ladies to some very great relationships and friendships and a complete turnaround BECAUSE of quasi-legal highs.
The more they tighten this noose, fewer and fewer people will be able to escape.their own personal hell and become.high-functioning members of society.
As I said I was quicker-witted, eloquent in both speech and writing on a consistent enough basis to live the best years of my life. Because PPT, used therapeutically had 0 ill effects that 3 grams of L Arginine(relieves constipation acts as a vasodilator, stimulates hgh, and a few other benefits that might fall under TMI) didnt ameliorate.
The points made in this thread are so true, and those prone to abuse of a substance will always find something, but these laws that limit what is available from nature to treat almost anything have indeed created a clustefuck of scary new substances and the harm they are causing and will cause to our people cant even be quantified really.
I cant get ppt reliably any more because of them and my performance is right back to where it was 4 years ago and maybe worse, considering the side effects and brain fog that comes from what Im doing now.
Who knows what crazy shit is coming down the pipe when these get banned.
Even after I get to the other side of my one day to come, hellish opiate withdrawal I will be a better, more successful and confident individual based on the confidene gained from the accomplishments I enjoyed during my 3 years of living as close to a normal life as I ever have, thanks to access to legal, and maybe more importantly NATURAL therapeutic treatment.
