DrugBuyers.Com: Re: Do we have the RIGHT to be pain-free?

And I will say now, and forever hereafter: YES YES!! and, 'hear hear'!

I am such a believer in this principle myself. Everything is so regulated, and it is not a matter of controlling the existing inventories, it really is about regulating what we do with/to/for ourselves. And at the root of it, you will find some Puritan ideals.

I have heard arch-conservatives say "Liberals keep telling us that if they take drugs it should be their own decision, that it's their own business, but it's NOT.Their drug use has an influence on OUR society." They seem to feel that our drug use for whatever reason, causes our Western society (which isn't really that great, let's face it) in its entirety to degrade.

And this attitude/propaganda is also what you will encounter on the deA website. It's horrible, it's meddling and it's condescending, and there's nothing us mere mortals can do about it. The rule of Law is rigid, and there's no room for change. Democracy is confusing, isn't it?

And we have only one life here, and no say in how we run it (all this is up for debate, depending upon who you talk to). It's messed up. And even totally natural things, such as plants and flowers, which can grow anywhere, are prohibited. I am thinking here of Cannabis and Papavers (i.e Pot plants and Poppies)

If ET came to planet Earth, and you explained to him the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, and explained to him Western ideals and concepts of freedom, he'd be completely out of his depth when trying to understand our approach to drugs, because just about everything would be illegal, and there's so much contradiction. Us humans can barely understand it, and we get sent to prison for our lack of understanding or non-compliance. Just imagine that.

I'm just plain old Eurotrash here, and I couldn't understand for the longest time why I couldn't even have pain medications for pain. Still really can't get my mind around it completely, but I infer that religion has a lot to do with the principles regarding drugs, which is really unfair, because their God is nor necessarily mine. My doctor even told me to try prayer and yoga. What an idiot! I mean, that's non-clinical, and it's all things you don't need a doctor to tell you. I go to a doctor when Motrin and positive thinking DON'T HELP!

So we get no help, we get some advice. Remind me to set up practice as a pain doctor, because I can tell people to think happy thoughts and to exercise.
