(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Several enlightened patients and others read my articles occasionally and I try to keep at least one small step ahead of them.
I checked to see who says what comparatively about Devil Weed the star of the movie Reefer Madness. Iâ??ve been reading this crap for so long almost nothing surprises me. Apparently in 2009 a British Government Agency erected this list and a whole bunch of pseudo-pharmacologists (I gotcha on that one!) jumped on that one and posted it on their own websites. Fie on them! At any rate it has had 13,000,000 hits. It appears many people are trying to stay out of coffins.
As a registered Pharmacologist/Toxicologist I have decided to jump in with my 2-bits worth. Here is the list with my smart aleck remarks from worst to least:
Heroin: Super Morphine/Oxycontin
Cocaine: Nose candy, a real killer
Barbiturates: Reds and Blues used for suicides
Methadone: Lethal substitute for Heroin
Alcohol: Killed more WWII Vets than bombs
Ketamine: Hog tranquilizer, whoâ??d have thought
Valium drugs: Once number one addictant
Amphetamines: Once number one speedo
Tobacco: A more pleasant way for cancer & death!
Bupremorphine: Any Opiate can be lethal
MARIJUANA: who are they kidding
Solvents: Even gasoline and whiteout
4MTR: A long Amphetamine
LSD: You go crazy first
Ritalin: Beware autistic children
Anabolic steroids: Muscles destroy brain function
Ruphies: Rip roaring amnesia
Ecstacy: Worse rip roaring stimulant
Alkyl Nitrates: These were the predecessors of Viagra
Khat: A junior grade amphetamine
MARIJUANA: Itâ??s rightful place. Never killed anyone!
I am expecting a lot of bitching and moaning about my remarks. Just remember I didnâ??t produce this list in the first place.
I think Anti-depressants from the VA should be in here someplace, however most Vets quit taking them and become alcoholics and croak.
