“One
pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small, and the ones that
mother gives you don’t do anything at all. Go ask Alice... when
she’s 10 feet tall...” Jefferson Airplane, White Rabbit
Alice
is 10 feet tall now... but she doesn’t live here anymore. She’s
been in rehab for decades, but has found some new pills. They aren’t
called white crosses, orange sunshine, black beauties, ecstacy, or
even ganga... They're little “blue pills”, “purple
pills” or some nasty pink shit... generically known as: A PRESCRIPTION!
“They come in so many varieties that one hardly knows where to
begin to find the right color match for a particular malady. One gets
you up and the other brings you down and many may even kill you...
one way or another.
Prescription drugs kill more people than all illegal drugs, combined!
Alice’s
new drug pusher is called a DOCTOR. This once noble profession has
degraded into “High” class drug dealing. Their “colors“
are white... trench-coats which, depending on length (of gown), allows
them to hand out pills to every Dick, Jane, Bush and Pecker that comes
in with a whiny voice.
Obviously,
many people cannot seem to change their way of life, preferring to
take a pill they know absolutely nothing about, other that what is
sold to them on TV (but most likely, knows more about the "danger"
of the current drug fad) yet it's more likely to kill them than illegal
drugs. And IF they ask their “doctor” about the dangers
of the pill they're taking, they’re told “it’s ok
- no big deal”, let’s see how it works... come back in
a couple of months! How often do they actually tell patients
to stop taking them? Like mental "doctors", you rarely
"get well"... ya gotta keep going back... keeping these drug-king-pins
in operation!
Prescribing
multitudes of pills, it could take years for doctors, or patients,
begin to understand the benefit (if there is one), amid all of the
side affects. When a patient realizes it may be doing more harm than
good, the “doctor” says “you can’t go off of
it”. Huh? “Alright, try this, see if this pill helps that
little side affect”. Meanwhile, at his next free 'tini lunch,
the white jacketed pusher accepts mugs, pens and probably monetary
kickbacks, for every “scrip” written and/or filled!
DOCTOR you say? Sorry, it’s now the new & improved
Pharma-Gang. Now Playing in your neighborhood!
“When
the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go... And the
white knight is talking backwards and the red queen’s on your
head... Remember what the door mouse said... Feed your head...”
Jefferson Airplane, same great song.
Imagine: The white knight is the doctor, the red queen is Czar and
the door mouse is the little voice in your head... saying: Wake up!
Your
Kids are the new demographic. They're watching for that overly controlled
pent-up anger/energy, to make an “out-of-control” addict
of your child with the prescribed Dumb Down Tabs (DDT), while captive
in government schools. Now dispensing in your friendly Little Tykes
Scrip Center, or with his hand held “Pause” dispenser,
compliments of: Phizer, Ely Lilly, Navartis, and all the other Pharma-Gang
members in this outrageous money sucking propaganda machine, that those
with a few aches and pains, gas and bloat, menstrual cramps, allergies
and heartburn (all termed as “diseases” now) have bought
into... rather than changing one’s diet... or lifestyle!
The new
War on Pharms and, of course, a Pharma-Czar will replace those nasty
illegal drugs, because they have already proven to be much more profitable
to the Pharma-bored members than any illegal ganga ever hoped to acheive!
And “they” have us frightened of Meth Labs?!
What a load of placebo's that is!
Expect
"drugs" like marijuana to be legalized only when those, who
already "control" the drug, are in place to act as a dispenser,
a la cigarettes.
Yes,
absolutely, there are some people who need certain drugs for various
problems. But an overwhelming amount of people are taking some sort
of pill(s), for things that can be solved by real food (not corporate
"phood"), exercise, and maybe some self-reflection. By
the way, this article was written quite a few years ago, after discovering
the "links" between government & pharmaceutical corporations
and how they get drugs "approved", or dis-approved, by the
FDA, itself a questionable gov. agency.

And here
we come to the vital distinction between the advocacy of temperance
and the advocacy of prohibition. Temperance and self-control are convertible
terms. Prohibition, or that which it implies, is the direct negation
of the term self-control. In order to save the small percentage of
men who are too weak to resist their animal desires, it aims to put
chains on every man, the weak and the strong alike. And if this is
proper in one respect, why not in all respects? Yet, what would one
think of a proposition to keep all men locked up because a certain
number have a propensity to steal? - Percy Andreae, "A Glimpse
behind the Mask of Prohibition" [1915]
No drug,
not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society.
If we're looking for the sources of our troubles, we shouldn't test
people for drugs,
we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power
