Maybe the reason so many people are DEPRESSED is because we are living through a DEPRESSION.

Barack would prefer that you take the pain pill and let him continue on screwing the taxpayers and raping the Constitution.

This is what they use to tranquilize horses, right? So a good dose removes depression for 10 days by rendering you unconscious for that period.

Send that depression down the K-Hole.
To: Renfield
Hard to see how halalucinaitng and being incapacitated for hours can be an improvement over depression, unless the benefits persist long after the side effects wear off.

Maybe we should slip some to Matthews and all the other Dimwits that were so depressed after BO lost the first debate. Silence for 10 days would be golden indeed.

Well, now we know what the next fad in substances-of-abuse will be.
I remember when Time and Newsweak ran similar articles on the wonders of Ecstasy.

My son was seriously injured in Afghanistan 18 months ago, and he was kept in a coma for 8 days with ketamine. I thought it was for the pain, since just about every bone in his lower back down to his toes was broken.
Whatever it was for, the outcome in the end was fine. But when he did come around, there were some very weird things coming out of his mouth!

Exactly......There is no help for “hopelessness” except “hope”. (God). You drug people to cover up their “emotions” which is NOT help...........it is what they do to the old people in nursing homes-—drug the masses, so it takes little work to deal with them and their problems and they are quiet.
Think of all the drugs people 40 and over take....just like Soma-——emotions are NOT TIED TO BEHAVIORS; they are CAUSED BY A PILL. It is evil.
How inhumane is that—to disconnect emotions from behavior.
Brave New World and/or 1984.

I might point out that winning the Lottery removes depression for as long as the money holds out.

0bama has sent numerous conservative elderly Americans to an early grave due to a prolonged forced tolerance of his unacceptable comments and unconstitutional actions. Stress kills.

To anyone interested, St. John's wort (Solaray 2x/day) ia a godsend for moderate depression and sleep issues

It's used in veterinary medicine as a paralytic drug. For instance for equine castrations they sedate the horse and then give him ketamine to keep him still and down until the deed is done. Putting a horse totally out in the field is not done. Horses are too fragile coming out of anesthetics to be done in an uncontrolled setting.

That fad went over back in the 1990s. Its street name is “Special K”.

Can you make brain dead people unconscious? I’m not sure ketamine would have any effect on those fools.

I hope he is recovering well.
And THANK him (from my family) for his service!
