Miss Sonnet,

I am familiar with this drug. I've used this drug. I've seen people become dependent on this drug. I've seen people build up a tolerance to the drug-needing more and more. It is used for glaucoma patients. It is widely known for it's use in creating the munchies. It is know to raise the beat of the heart. It comes with very bad side effects. Should the mentioning of this drug even come about on this forum? Is there a place for it here?

This is not an unfair criticism at all. I have every right to express my feelings about the use of this drug. Obviously-you are pro choice.Well,I'm not. I think this topic does need to end and all you've done is made it look like a good thing. Read between the lines and stop pretending to know it all. Who in the hell isn't familiar with this drug?Hmm,tell me. I am not confusing it with tobacco-it is ten times more deadly that tobacco. Do a little research before jumping in here and playing The Mother Theresa act. There was no mention of it being used for giggling and getting high. It is used for three things-extreme pain which is usually MS related or chemotherapy,Aids -for an appetite and glaucoma.
