- Dear SG user,
- I'm addressing you primarily because of one simple thing. And that is — if you like to throw medical advice around and are no health professional or have the slightest idea of what the fuck you are talking about, well, I sincerely hope you burn in hell.
- I have no ill intentions towards any of you, random strangers surfing the internet. But there's only one thing that really pisses me off — the one thing that could make me kill people with my bare hands — is those kind of people that like to start spouting random medical and mostly made-up data without having a fucking clue of what they are talking about.
- If by this point you are wondering why I am writing this, well I'll answer you. It's mostly because of the weed topic. Well, that one and the previous cigar one. I could go into more insight, but if you say that weed fights cancer, you better back it up by some SCIENTIFIC research. And no, dear stranger, articles published in a website named www.legalize.it are not SCIENTIFIC. If you are not familiar with the Scientific Method and the procedures a drug has to go through to be considered as effective and safe to use, I'd gladly explain them to you later on. But please STOP GIVING FUCKING MEDICAL ADVICE.
- You are playing with your life and everyone else's, can't you see it? Every time you auto-medicate, every fucking time you say, “Hey have this amoxicilyn for that headache, they cured me”. Every fucking time you say things of the sort — Weed is healthy. There's no problem in taking steroids. I'm doing a ketogenic diet and I'm perfectly well, it's totally safe. — YOU MIGHT BE CAUSING DAMAGE TO SOMEONE. And not just psychological damage, but physical and sometimes irreversible damage as well. Not to mention that by using medicines incorrectly, and that is any of the following:
- • Not fulfilling treatments.
- • Auto-medicating.
- To name the two main ones, you are creating SUPERBUGS, bacteria and viruses develop resistances to medication. I will gladly go into further detail if someone is interested, but what you are doing is causing a lot of health problems. Did you know that penicillin is almost useless now in many of its forms? [citation needed]
- So that's it. Be aware that everything can and eventually will kill you. Jesus Christ, you will die by breathing too much if you don't do so by other means. And now I'll quote Paracelsus: “Alle Dinge sind ein Gift und nichts ist ohne Gift. Allein die Dosis macht, daß ein Ding kein Gift ist”, which translates roughly to “the dose makes the poison”.
- All drugs used daily are lethal in some dose or another. There's something called therapeutical margin that determines in what concentrations they are safe to use. For example Digoxin will cause hallucinations if overdosed. Ibuprofen will destroy your liver and Aspirin will pierce your stomach. That is, of course, if they are not used properly. So please for your own benefit and everybody's, do so. I beg you.
- Now into the weed topic, something having medical uses does not mean it's healthy. Did you know that heroin can be used to stop cough? And that cocaine is a good local anesthetic? Now, would you recommend someone to have those? That's it. I'm not saying you shouldn't or should smoke weed, or inject yourself with heroin. But be aware of the risk, act with regard to the consequences, and most importantly, be able to take an informed decision.
- So, please, next time you are going to take some Augmentine because your head hurts or you have a cold. Or if you want to claim that there's no such thing as cancer, or that it can be cured through meditation. Please, fucking refrain.
- Sincerely,
- A future Pharmacist.
- TL;DR: Don't be an asshole
