I expect only Mule and perhaps a few others will understand that title, but i think it is high time to bring the chronicles back to some more abstract musing. Well i just did a dictionary check on the word "musing" and i believe i have used the word properly, which keeps my percentage around that of the save percentage of any Toronto maple leafs goaltender over the past few years, which in turn reminds me of an email i failed to respond to today. Damn and i thought my real problem was something else all together. Alcoholism is a manageable problem i say... why not say that... the world is full of many perfectly functioning alcoholics. Hell i read in the news today that one of the drug companies... i won't mention their name because i don't need an email from a representative that is paid to monitor a "google alert" with that company's name with respect to what it is i am about to write... which i might add i don't know what i am going to write next. Where was i.. i doesn't matter... actually it does matter. the point of the news story was that they were going to offer free Viagra to people who lost their jobs and are unemployed in this recession. NEWS STORY HERE.
I wonder what Viagra is all about... i should take some as an experiment. i remember i knew a girl in University and her story was if she smoked pot she became horny and wanted to have sex... unfortunately i never took advantage of that fact... so obviously Viagra is marketed (on Hockey night in Canada) as a sexual stimulant but what else does it do... didn't they call acid the love drug at one time, before it became illegal... or possibly after.
well i just did another search for the affects of viagra and i got these beauties * bleeding of the eye
* convulsions (seizures)
* decreased or double vision or in extreme cases blindness
* a blue tint to your vision
* prolonged, painful, or inappropriate erection of penis
* redness, burning, or swelling of the eye
* anxiety
I can deal with anxiety... now mind you these are rare*... or at least classified as rare... I won't be doing a Viagra experiment.
The whole perception of drugs is very bizarre in our world... drug company good... naturally occurring plant bad.
There seems to be a stronger movement these days to legalize marijuana... something that is long overdue in my humble opinion. i have read a lot of arguments pros and cons but the one thing that never gets touched on is the fact that it's classification as an illegal drug, in my opinion, is detrimental to people's understanding of what a bad drug can do to you.
Let me try to explain. So you are told "all illegal drugs are bad for you because if you use them you life will lead to ruin" which is essentially what i believed until i went away to University. So you then get somebody who tries some pot, or grass or marijuana for that matter, has a bunch of laughs with their friends and wakes up the next day all fine. they try it again later and have some perception changing moments that make them a better human more in tune with the world around them... and they cry bull shit on the voices that tried to ban them from meeting this "herbal remedy"... The real danger is here... that person may think what they heard about cocaine, or heroin, or pcb or crack is bullshit as well... which it is not... those drugs will most likely ruin you life... but because you were lied to all those years you don't know what to believe at the moment of truth.
