Between prescribed psychotropic drugs and the eventual legalization of all illegal drugs ... we will soon be a completely stoned nation, willing to accept anything.
So start drinking heavily.
Since American voters re-elected Obama...we have already crossed that bridge.
Isn’t that how the Chinese became communist. Opium dens? (using my very long term memory here)
SOON? We're already there. Add to those hooked on legal and illegal drugs the effect on everyone else of technology. Then there's the manipulation of information we receive. Political correctness and not wanting to offend anyone have destroyed freedom of speech. Then there's the "everyone's a criminal" life of a camera on every street corner and drones in the sky. The destruction of the middle class leaves less people free to make changes for a better life.
I think there are some people who still care, but the numbers are thinning out quickly.
It is worse than people think. You go to the doctor and complain of Osteoarthritis pain, can’t take the OA drugs as they cause GERD and bowel shut down. Wham you get a script for 5mg NORCO (formerly Lore Tabs), then that becomes 10 mg, 15 mg 20 mg you are HOOKED. You are taking them every 4 hrs in hope that they will provide some relief, they don’t really work as well since the Tylenol was reduced. And you best hope you are not allergic to the new yellow dye they are now using in them.
Your DOCTOR is the worse legal drug pusher on the planet.
Same goes for the behavior drugs they like to stick little boys on. Those have some real doozy side effects, including suicide, and anger.
Lunesta for sleep causes extreme RAGE.
Same goes for the anti depression drugs, they are all addictive. Other drugs are addictive too. Lyrica, Gabapentin, Xanax, Cymbalta, Prosaic.
Now the push to legalize MMJ for pain, it puts you in LA LA land where you DON’T care about the pain. It does not work on pain.
No wonder we have an academic of drug addictive people. No one knows how to cope with stress, so they need an ant-depression addictive drug.
Again Your DOCTOR is the worse legal drug pusher on the planet.
I ought to know, mine pushes it all. I live in chronic pain 24/7/365, instead of fixing the issues they just try and dope you up. There are no cures for a degenerative spine, Colitis Ileus, damaged Vegus nerve, OA, OP, Fibromyalgia, and the drugs they use to try and control symptoms cause Drug induced GERD and Drug induced Osteoporosis.
I am NOT risking my gun permit over these drugs! My child’s killer has completed his plea bargain sentence, and was released early due to ‘good behavior rules’ that reduces prison over crowding. I am his #1 target. I live close to Memphis, TN the crime capitol of the state.

Like most useful medications, Forteo may have its possible downside. In animals, it promotes the development of osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. In humans, osteosarcoma has not been reported but it remains a concern with Forteo. (The daily injections are also a downside.)
