    Hey, MASS quantities of people are on this dope.
    One in six or seven in many countries. Esp at
    higher or combo dosages, once you're ON them
    you'll never really get OFF them without suicide
    or worse. They permanently alter brain chemistry.

    They are HEAVILY marketed on every media. The
    assumption is that humans are supposed to
    be giddily happy and chipper and 'up' ALL
    OF THE TIME, like people in TV shows.

    Hey, even people in Denmark - where a gene
    that produces effects kinda like low-dose
    Prozac is common - consume vast quantities
    of these meds.

    May as well just sell everyone cheap crack
    and meth ... easier to get off of.

    Oh, for fun, recent reports say x-percent of
    users go numb below the waist, FOREVER, if
    you get my meaning.

    In the 60s/70s, seemed like everyone was on
    'Valium' or something similar. Note the old
    Stones song, "Mother's Little Helper". Those
    drugs were also seriously addictive with
    longer-term use - and they marketed the
    shit out of 'em. "Normal" was drugged-out
    "mellow", comfortably numb .....

    The usual Puritans get all freaked about "opiates",
    probably because they think nice 'white' girls will
    get buzzed and screw wicked darkies, but maybe that's
    the LEAST of the public drug problem ?

    And there you have it.

    If you're not sparkly and chipper - the problem is you. And you
    need to take a pill.
    You're problems don't change or go away, but now you can groove on them.
