Some drugs are apparently better than others!

There have been tons of commercials for drugs on TV where you can send away for free samples if you pay shipping. And some of them sound really dangerous to send off randomly to people...stress reducing pills and sleeping tabs and things like that. Are people really so desperate to make money that they are willing to give away potentially addicitve drugs to people for the cost of shipping?!?

Aren't we having some kind of "war on drugs" these days? You know...that policy where i can't reduce stress by smoking a joint in my own home legally; but it's totally cool to get prescription drugs without a prescription if I pony up the shipping costs?!?

I am just disgusted...

In other news I'm having people over tonight for cartoons, madlibs and cake.
Stop on by it you're free.
And bring me some pot because I'm out!

it's more like a war on drugs that america doesn't make.

Money motivates many. And seldomly do peoples lives and loss of lives get in the way of making money.

i guess i knew that already. It just seems important enough that it should be articulated more often, so at least people will remember to be on their guard.

Greed overrides many normal human brain functions. Like what is important to who. Someone who is greedy is pretty much only concerned with their own wealth. They cannot be bothered by things like the good of the community or society as a whole.

I saw a commercial for something last night where, I would've assumed one would need a prescription, but no, I could just call for a free sample. Hmmm.

I agree the policies we have for medications here all seem hypocritical and poorly rationalized. The whole freaking system is out of line!

Nothing to do with your entry

Have you seen this book, "Found"? From the makers of "Found" magazine? Which is entirely composed of found notes, pictures, etc.? (It's excellent, by the way.)

Anyway, I just turned to page 112, and there is a photocopy of 2 pages from a notebook sent in by Debbie Steinberg of Ann Arbor, Michigan[1]. On one page is the name "Wednes"[2] inside a heart. On the other, is:
Screenplay
----------
Dad builds houses, they always burn to the ground. Always lived in a burning house.

Dad is having some kind[?] of Japanese influence[?] the west builds monuments forever EAST build wooden huts that burn down every 100 years.

In the end it turns out that -- he was [indecipherable]
These three things (noted) I know about you... so, was the notebook yours (or somebody's you know), or is this a total coincidence?

Oh, the third thing (which I forgot to note) was "screenplay".

That's wild!

I never would have known that if you hadn't said soemthing...as i am familiar with the magazine, but didn't know there was a book.

Yeah, people are that desperate. But apparently not that smart. They could make a lot more moeny off of some drugs if they'd just legalize them.
