    I think you should try them all for an extended period so you can make an informed decision...maybe start with Thorazine and then get back to us with your test results! Be sure to purchase a drool cup ...I hear that's a great Thorazine companion!

    Religion makes for a neat fictional story. But like other works of fiction (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Wenatchee) I don't base my life decisions on it.

    I know the Catholic church imbedded their rules and agenda alongside the tenets of the religion. From the slaughter they directed during the three Crusades, or instigation of the Spanish Inquisition,many centuries ago, political status was important in their reign. The religions' status during the medieval period was for power and political influence. Unfortunately, priests in these times,
    had proven the solitary life to God was not enough. Perversion! It's a global problem that proved it was the system, not the individual. .

    There were a bunch of religious (legal) zealots back in the day. Jesus thumped them pretty good and pretty often.

    Still are today.

    I have no need for it but you are seeking answers so I'll be happy to know how it turns out...it was your question. I'm on 3 heart meds currently and have been for 6 years...glad they're not illegal.
    Drugs should not be illegal...abuse of drugs should be illegal.

    I imagine they'e prescribed.

    Not exactly certain what your definition of abuse is. One shot of heroin is OK, but three is abuse?

    sort of like cigarettes eh? but if you're a soldier who's stepped on a land mine and lost his legs on the battlefield the medic will probably give you all the shots you want to help you through it...you don't want to take a handful of my heart meds at the same time either but I'm sure someone has lost their life trying...choices

    Something like that, yeah. Heh, I've never had three shots of heroine before.

    Drug possession and use should be decriminalized. Our efforts should be focused on prevention via education and recovery.

    It's worked well in Portugal.

    I'm going to assume you've never stepped on a land mine as well. Personally when they put a balloon in my heart chamber I'm glad I was knocked out with powerful drugs. Choices ..I sure didn't wake up from surgery a heroin addict though.

    I was goofing around as I had mispelled heroin. All good. Glad you're relatively healthy these days. My ticker appers to be doing well. It's my prostate that's caused a few inconveniences in the past few years.

    Dude, you missed the best part! I was (pleasantly) higher than a kite and it was like I was watching a satellite photo. See the big old river that somehow narrowed down to a little tiny stream, then.....voila! Flowing like the Amazon again. There was a little initial discomfort when they expanded the mesh, but it was a good buzz throughout and the procedure was fascinating to watch. That said, one time is plenty.

    Portugal is known for great food and its relaxed atmosphere. Perhaps, they have a plan.

    No doubt, you're getting old. When you scope out where bathrooms are at an event, that's proof.
