self medicating with legal drugs is far different than self medication from illegal type. those prescription medications are safe compared to that extasy trash and whatever else. the prescription meds are meant to treat our illnesses.> You didn't answer my question, so maybe you missed it. I didn't ask you whether you believed illegal drugs or their users are evil. I asked you about the double standard. If illegal drugs are bad, then taking prescription drugs for which you have no prescription is equally bad.
