Stunned and drug rant

I was going to get up this morning and try to clarify some actual numbers that are involved in Climate Change, but then reading the paper I noticed an article in the LA TIMES by Lisa Giron.

"PANEL URGES MORE CONTROL OF VICODIN"

I personally have never taken a Vicodin but am quite aware of others who have and do take the MOST PRESCRIBED DRUG in America.

Hydrocone is the main active ingredient in Vicodin and America consumes 99% of that chemical produced worldwide.

PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, which of course are classified as legal, cause more deaths than Heroin and Cocaine combined.  That does not surprise me because it's a numbers game and multi-millions of people take prescription drugs compared to the numbers who shoot Heroin or snort and smoke Cocaine.

Ms. Giron states that prescription drug fatalities have recently surpassed deaths from automobile crashes in the accidental death category. What she doesn't seem to mention is the use of alcohol in combinations with Prescription drugs....once again failing to acknowledge the obvious.....ALCOHOL IS A LEGAL DRUG and the amount of fatal accidents caused by legal drugs has always been higher.

Automobile accidents have been (over the last 60 years) the leading cause of accidental deaths in the United States.  How many of those accidents occurred while under the influence of which drug is the big question. We all realize being under the influence of alcohol is at the top of the list. Being under the influence of pot is at the bottom of the list....and even if they made pot legal it would still be at the bottom of the list because it's hard to drive a car while slumped on the couch trying to find the remote.

The Vicodin situation does worry me because I've seen people who don't touch illegal drugs pop two or three Vicodin without blinking.  They seem to treat it the same way they do when popping a cork on a nice Napa Cab.

Taking anything that alters central nervous system connections should be done on a very limited basis.  The same thing applies when smoking a joint.  One HIT is all the body needs to release the chemicals that result in feeling a change of consciouness. 

ALCOHOL IS THE MOST ABUSED DRUG ON THE PLANET.....EXCEPT FOR NICOTINE....BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO CONSIDER NICOTINE A DRUG.

IF YOU TAKE A VICODIN AND THEN HAVE A SHOT OF JACK DANIELS AND SMOKE A JOINT WHILE TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER TO HAVE A CAB OR MERLOT WHILE GETTING READY TO DRIVE YOUR CAR TO THE PARTY......THERE IS A PROBLEM

EVEN IF YOU ELIMINATE THE SMOKING JOINT PORTION OF THE STORY....THERE'S STILL A PROBLEM.

IF YOU TAKE MORE THAN TWO VICODIN IN A WEEK THEN THERE'S STILL A PROBLEM.

Of course those of us from the 60's and 70's simply believe that you should just take a good pure tab of acid and forget all the other bullshit.

Of course you might need the Vicodin if your trip proves too painful.

There are no guarantees to what one may discover
when opening the windows
into
one's 
soul.

AND SOMETIMES THE WINDOWS HAVE NEVER BEEN CLEANED SO THEREFORE I'M NOT SANCTIONING THE USE OF LSD but I will speculate on the following theory; 

If the people, who are addicted to both legal and illegal drugs. were involved in a well organized psychedelic experience it MIGHT cure their drug problems.

Of course it's just a theory but those people are using drugs because of some problem so why not visit the Elvis of drugs and see what happens.

You do know that LSD was developed with the intention to help treat psychotic behavior?

I think it could help with addictions....so before you take another Vicodin stop by Walgreens and get a tab of Ozzie Clear Light and get ready to............

.........WUM
