To Whom It May Concern,
I guess some of us can agree to disagree on the subject but there is overwhelming proof in my posts. As you go on living your life your experiences will tell how you fare and I hope you fare well but if you must use harmful chemicals I fear for you. My experiences are reality and backed up by a mountain of evidence and I believe the researchers are all ethical and objective and not biased. As I mentioned before a person will justify his or her use of something that is harmful and protect it because he or she is addicted or just has to have it and it is called denial. I, too, was in denial for years! :)Denial is a smoke screen that hides the truth from the person who is in it. It is natural and often very strong-it is a blinder. Often he or she is afraid to quit because he or she does not know what else to do or thinks life will not be as good without it-well, I have good news-it will be 100% better. :) I have also seen the horrors of harmful drug abuse first hand. Been there, done that and all I can say is no thank you to that crap. When you have to have a harmful substance you are not free and it is controlling you. Would you eat rat poison if you got high on it and say it was a good buzz? Well, you are doing the same thing with the harmful drugs but it kills slower. I have posted educational things that are highly substantiated. There are many more reports that are not govt. funded but funded through charitable foundations. A few of my studies here are not govt. but the govt. is doing a good job, I must say. I see nothing wrong with the govt.and see that are working their tails off to save people. Look at the bibliography and see the hard facts in all of the research done-it does not lie and is not biased. If just one person who uses pot or other harmful substances will realize it is time to visit their local Narcotics Anonymous or AA or another chemical dependency treatment program or CD counselor it would be the best thing he or she has done for him/herself and the start of a much much much much improved life-guaranteed. You still will have problems, though, but you will know better how to handle them. My life has improved a whole lot. I got a good education and have direction in life now. These posts are meant to help and those who disbelieve or criticize may need to seek treatment one day for their addictions-and I wish them well. None of what I have posted is a myth because there is overwhelming evidence of all I assert. Feel free to complain all you want-it won't change your life or the facts. To those who justify use of these harmful drugs and promote it through your posts here, you ought to think twice what you are doing because if you strive to be a good example to others you will not promote these harmful illegal drugs. As for the psychiatrist who said pot was okay-really can't you try and think for yourself and face the facts. The doctor did not tell you to use it and did not tell you of it's harmfulness either. Just agreed with you and maybe thought later-why did I do that? Treatment will help, I assure you, I have had it and enjoyed it. The past 14 years without the "shit" have been 100% better. Best wishes to all for a better quality life. Care about yourself, care about others, live and learn. I care and am concerned about your welfare. Peace and love to you. :-) Sincerely, Pat
