Tell Sal you are depressed and whatever has not worked and Jason will give you a "Sal Special Coctail for Depression ". What happens if this person is actually BP ? The hospital is what happens, at the least.

> jamesJames - I am confused. I am sure that I have seen you mention that you smoke pot - an illegal activity. Have you had some kind of epiphany about breaking the law? A law like the one that determines which drugs must be prescribed by a physician and which ones are OTC. How is this different? - Jane
