Medication vs 'Self" medicating

[agedman]

So what are you masking behind your use of stimulants, agedman? :tongue3: I use mine to come against and rebuke the spirit of grog and groutchiness.

I suppose mine is to awaken the soul that I might rationally and in good spirit consider the day.

It remains to be seen how thankful I will be for it. I am only on my second mug. raying: :saint:

shhh everyone likes to believe caffeine is not a drug.

True, and another that comes to mind is food. Many imbalances are created by what we eat and how much. People like to eat to "feel good". Food is abused all the time and the negative effects from that are causing all kinds of physical and mental illnesses. ...but, mabye there is hope, I heard they just came up with a new pill to treat these imbalances.

We call 'em fat pills. Other places they call 'em donuts or Bismarks. :tongue3:

Where'd FAL go? We start talking about all those beverages with stimulants and he disappears. Uncanny.

Do you really miss him?

I see Nothing Wrong....

...in using medically prescribed aides to cope with a physical or mental disease. God gave mankind the smarts to develop these things, so why diss God and those He gave us to make life more comfortable?

 

[nodak]

Maybe FAL went for another cup of coffee

I don't think we help, me included, by referring to brain chemicals. They are properly neurotransmitters and not some vague things science cannot find.

righteousdude2--you nailed it.

We tried the scientific words a few threads back. :BangHead: Looks like Steadfast and Free are busy chasing the new feller from Tronto. Anyone want to have a reasoned and rational discussion now?
