Seriously, if this drug is causing such a problem, perhaps those taking it should find an alternative.

In my neck of the woods, being asleep at wheel or driving unconscious would be an big improvement to some of the driving skills I have seen around here.

There is a name for this: It's called &quot;the munchies&quot;.

I once dreamt I was drinking the world's largest Margarita. When I woke up, there was salt all over the toilet seat.

Don't try this at home, kids.

You young bucks...

All hard work, beer and wine got me was more drugs. My &quot;pusher&quot; said I was a walking disaster area, and she has an M.D. degree.

BTW, beer and wine ARE drugs. Don't let the government's definitions fool ya.

Personally, I don't need a sleeping pil to raid the fridge &quot;like an animal&quot;. &quot;Case studies&quot; show, I do it quite often! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

A whole lot of folks do that around here every morning I'd swear to it... http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

This sounds vaguely familiar to me, but my mind is a little clouded on the issue. I think I forgot some of my college years, maybe. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I beg to differ.

Beer is one of the main food groups!

Beer and Wine are not Drugs! They are God's calming Drinks.
You can't fool a Redhead on this one and I don't believe the Gov. Propaganda calling Beer and Wine Drugs.

Alcohol is a drug just as coffee and chocolate are drugs also. The FDA wishes to put vitamins under the list of controled substances as well making vitamin C a drug as well.
Greedy corporations! Under current FDA regulations, everything can be considered a drug based on their wording. In effect, this makes everyone from Taco Bell to your local grocer a drug dealer.
Guess my two cups of drugs (coffee) this morning should earn me a stay in prison where I will be exposed to real and powerful drugs. I'll have to fashion a shiv outta something to fend off the HIV infected rape gangs that are a primary institution of the prison system. I'll have to build up a reputation as a natural born killer develop my own gang that will globalize all the gangs under one single leader. At this point, the gaurds and the warden will be the ones raping each other while we run the place and start the first Fortune 5 business from a prison.
Which begs the question: Does American society send offenders to prison AS punishment or FOR punishment? I believe it is now the latter even though it was suppose to be the former. Since we can't control our prisoners, what is the purpose of putting them there if we REFUSE to rehabilitate them?
Forget the ones who can't or don't want to be rehabilitated. I'm talking about a boy who goes to prison at 19 for having a bag of pot and before then his whole worlded revolved around his little corner of the world. Now 5 years goes by and he comes out of the prison system as a &quot;Professional&quot; criminal. What happened to the rehab?
Fridge Raiders? Send them to prison!

Simple solution: Don't have a fridge and don't live within 50 miles of a food source of any kind.

In other words, move to the artic circle. You'll be so cold you'll never gain weight!

I'm just waiting for the State of California to put a warning label on your forehead:

&quot;No matter what you do, no matter where you go, its probably hazardous to your health.&quot;

That's a good point, unfortunately the nauseating wave on neo-conservatism that has become somehow fashionable in the last few years seems to prosper the notion that throwing someone into jail without any sort of rehabilitation is a just and wise solution because drugs are 'evil' and they have some sort of biblical need for retribution.
Pot being a good example of a system gone wrong as well, something that is much less debilitating and harmful then alcohol, and less harmful then cigarettes and coffee gets labeled as a schedule 1 narcotic. While I don't personally condone hard drug usage I will admit to having been a bit of a stoner in my younger days and it didn't make me a raving maniac or a heroin addict. De-criminalization of marijuana at the very least should've logically happened many years ago. (We can thank the nitwits like Nancy and Ronald Reagan for F'ing that up with their propaganda that lumped in marijuana with cocaine and heroin. Of course keeping it illegal continues to lump it in anyway since anything illegal prospers a black market.)
When are people going to wake up to the fact that the so-called war on drugs is failing miserably by virtue of the fact that we aren't solving the problem by locking people up and not offering them any sort of help, education or lifestyle alternatives? (Keep in mind that the majority of people that get busted for drugs are inner-city African Americans while they're probably not the majority of users.)
Also, lying to kids about things like marijuana only makes them more prone to think that they are being lied to about other things as well. I certainly wouldn't encourage kids to use anything, even pot, but I would much rather tell them the truth so that they can make an informed decision when confronted with the situations that we know kids are confronted with as kids or young adults.
Guess who's winning the war on drugs? The drug dealers and the bankers that launder the drug money, not the government.
Rehabilitation and education are the solution, not this constantly endorsed neo-con garbage of zero tolerance and lack of education and truthfulness.

CGC and YCO are all too correct. I plan to try all of the drugs I can get my hands on when my doc tells me my condition is teminal. I just want to see what the big deal is.

Update: Doc says I am not getting out of this alive, no one does. Are there any dealers here?
