I’m sick of this crap
It’s just sensationalism and hysteria promoted by scolds
We have a seriously aging population with maladies and it hurts
Invariably this will deprive in time those who need pain relief like myself at almost 60
Righteous do gooders
The pharmacopeia in my youth was exponentially greater for abuse than today yet we had little of this hysteria
1974
Quaaludes
Placidyls
Nembutal
Seconal
Amytal
Tuinal
Soper
Parest
Bimethedrine
Black molly
Dexedrine
Benzedrine
Benzodiazepine family
Dexamyl
Paregoric
talwin
Preludin
Many more varieties of opiates than now
And that’s just off the top of my head
Today it’s just s few pain killers and Valium and xanax and klonopin and soma muscle relaxers
That is about it today maybe a half dozen drugs to get high legally
The nanny state won’t stop till there’s none
Same mindset a 19 year old Afghan vet can’t come home and buy a drink legally
It’s bullshit
One of my most famous overdoses was in 1977. A beautiful 17 year old was pimped out by her stepfather into some shocking videos, and she took 30 Doridens to kill herself. We got her back.
So, she went to the library and read about it. She figured out that the capsules got gelled together in her stomach and turned into one giant pill, which released Doriden too slowly to kill her.
Next week, she took 100 Doriden dissolved in hot water.
That worked.
I know of a lot more abuse and death these days than in your youth. My daddy dealt with addicts. He dealt with my brothers. He taught me of the dangers of the drugs he kept under lock and key at work. But I have this memory from my childhood of my best friend’s aunt and uncle being devastated by the death of their son. They were never the same. It was all hush hush. But was it not a drug related death? He was their pride and joy out of their many children. But my memory could be way off here. I was a child maybe preteen. Do you know what I’m talking about? Maybe it had nothing to do with drugs ...
That was a list of Elvis’ autopsy find...right? BTW I am a huge Elvis fan but don’t live in denial.
