This is getting ridiculous.

Also anyone else notice that google now censors most search results about drugs? They give you their fucking suicide hotline as the top result if you mention anything harder than weed. After that, it’s all DEA and DOJ webpages, literal DARE shit, actual rehab advertisements, and massively SEO’d rehab related grifts. Good luck getting any Bluelight or Erowid pages to come up without actively searching for them nowadays.

    you have to use fucking Reddit to find any real information. Otherwise this is all you get:

    “low blood pressure” OK here’s 200 blog articles about HIGH blood pressure.

    “I just took an extra pill of this drug by mistake. Is this dangerous?” OK 200 blog articles saying do not take more than it says to take. WOW

    “my arm hurts” OK web MD says arm cancer would hurt.

    “ok that doesn’t answer my” OK ask a doctor. Ask a doctor. Ask a doctor. Ask a doctor. Ask a doctor. Ask a doctor. Ask a doctor. Ask a doctor. Ask a doctor. Ask a doctor. Ask a doctor.

    “no but like, I know, but is there like a cooldown period? Do I need to wait a couple weeks? A month? A year?” TAKE AFRIN ONCE EVERY 12 HOURS FOR NOT MORE THAN 3 DAYS

    “Has any human being ever purchased Afrin two times during the course of their long lifespan? Is that OK to do?” TAKE AFRIN ONCE EVERY 12 HOURS FOR NOT MORE THAN 3 DAYS

        Also you’ll have much more luck and very likely better information about drugs by speaking to a pharmacist. Many doctors don’t know are either hard to contact and/or have have fairly basic drug knowledge.

            Doctors still think the Naloxone in Suboxone actually prevents people from “abusing it”. The patent holder fed them a bunch of bullshit decades ago about how it causes precipitated withdrawal if you snort or IV it instead of using the prescribed sublingual RoA.

            But despite the universal experience of people who have snorted and IV’d it being that the Naloxone may as well be inactive due to it having a significantly lower mu-opioid receptor binding affinity than Buprenorphine, doctors still to this day insist on prescribing Suboxone instead of plain Buprenorphine, often at double the cost to the patient.
