Medicine

Just swalled my #meds with a chug of Mt Dew Livewire and some of them broke up in my mouth like some chalky candy. I wish they would prescribe me some sort of gelcaps instead of this insta-dissolve shit (tho, they are not actually “Zydis” or whateverthefuck that's called). The pills taste awful but they make me sane, so, can't complain. (that rhymes)

I am anti-Big Pharma, but, some medications are genuinely GOOD. Things that help people from losing their mind w/ halucinations, things that help with arthritis, things that help with diabetes, etc.; these are all good things, but PREVENTATIVE #medicine is the best medicine and if docotors in the United States were not so “incahoots” w/ Big Pharma(ceutical industries), then we wouldn't have them (the docs) prescribing every little new, trendy, brand name, cleverly-packaged pill to anyone and everyone who has the most minor symptom which isn't even a sympton of ANYTHING! People feel things. People have bodies that don't function 100% all the time and to give them a liver-toxic pill for the rest of their life when they have some joint pain when they are 20, causes a vicious cycle that can quite literally end in a premature death :(

As long as I am on the subject of pharmaceuticals, I must not overlook the tremendous benefits of regular marijuana use. I do not smoke it, myself, but if I could get a medicinal script for it, I certainly would because it could replace two of the three pills that I am taking. In fact, marijuana could replace 90% of the entire pharmaceutical industry's product line should it ever be allowed to be prescribed to patients nationwide as a form of treatment. Tremendous herb/medicine that plant is :)

This is all I have to say on the subject for right now. I can go into more detail later.

Be back in a bit!
