What is up with the world's drug abuse regulations?
The media has portrayed such a horrific image towards drug use, and frankly, I'm sick and tired of it. Healthcare professionals have poisoned many with the idea that the occasional drug use is a bad thing. If you were to tell someone that you do drugs they automatically think you are a bad influence. I hate that $hit... I am 18 years old and I've been doing Percocet Oxycodone for a year now and I can honestly say that it has changed my life for the better. It has brought me a lot of joy and happiness. I am a better person. Oxycodone is a very powerful analgesic with remarkable anxiolytic and anti depressive properties. I believe that if one can control a drug habit then it's fine. I've been doing two 5mg Percocets Watson 749 once a week usually on Saturdays for a year now and I am convinced that addiction isn't a concern. No tolerance has been built and if I were to discontinue the habit i will not go through withdrawals obviously . Everytime time I do it I get this strong euphoric feeling. It's the best stress reliever in my opinion. Another reason why I do it is because it's so cheap. I can get my hands on 10mgs of Oxycodone for 5 dollars. I think it's an amazing investment. Five dollars for 4 hours of bliss is totally worth it. Forty dollars can be easily spent if i go out somewhere with someone. So yea, to me it just seems logical and economical to consume Percocet once a week. I live with my two parents and our income is less than 30,000 dollars. If it wasn't for food stamp and the government we'd be screwed. If someone can maintain a strict drug use schedule then I say go for it. That said, I am nowhere near a bad influence. I am always helping out others. My friends and many other people tell me that i am a great influence they just don't like my habit . I graduated high school recently and I was top 15 in my class. I'm going to attend a University soon and i will be studying medicine... What are your thoughts on drug abuse? The regulations and laws? What should be changed? What do you think about what I'm doing? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you
