> Have you realized that as long as you do a little research on symptoms of different "disorders", you can almost get any drug you want? After my "interview", I started thinking about this. Man, I could have gotten some heavy-duty drugs by just rattleing off certain symptoms. Think of it: there is no blood test to conclusively determine any ailment in particular, there is no physical examination, there are NO tests except for the verbal one. And I never lie, do you? I never exxagerate symptoms, do you? Yeah right! All I would have to do is look bummed out, mention hopelessness, and look like a puppy who has lost his mother. Ne c'est pas?
SO WHAT'S THE POINT? THESE AREN'T RECREATIONAL DRUGS. sandhi
