I some what agree to your article.
Thanks fo...HI,<br /><br />I some what agree to your article.<br /><br />Thanks for writing such a great article. It’s really good to know about drug rehab in such a detail. It all begins with the idea to try how it feels when you take a sip of alcohol. It was not only depends a mouthful, so that increases the desire of some of the drink. And that is how we become dependent, and soon will need <a href="http://www.treatmentsolutionsnetwork.com/" rel="nofollow">Alcohol Detox</a> and rehabilitation.<br /><br />Thanks,Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15046463403387496585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30710387.post-63082018631651534402009-03-16T17:23:00.000-07:002009-03-16T17:23:00.000-07:00Agree with all your points, especially with alcoho...Agree with all your points, especially with alcohol consumption on the rise year after year in Canada. And of course, our dependency on all kinds of prescription drugs - pain medication or otherwise - makes me pretty nervous too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30710387.post-418587128305201162009-03-13T20:21:00.000-07:002009-03-13T20:21:00.000-07:00Jody, I'd say it's high time (pun unintended) for ...Jody, I'd say it's high time (pun unintended) for us as a society to take a good long look at our relationship to drugs of all sorts. I think we have a wholly unhealthy dependence on drugs, starting with caffeine, but also including alcohol, nicotine, basic pain medications and, of course, illicit soft and hard drugs.<BR/><BR/>After a study came out showing higher rates of testicular cancer in young males who start using marijuana at a young age, CBC radio interviewed a 17-year-old high school student who said he "needed it" to deal with the stress of his life. With due respect to teenage life, what could possibly be going on in a young man's life that would require him to "need" a relaxant.<BR/><BR/>But this is what we have in our society. We have a drug to wake us up (caffeine), others to take the edge off (alcohol, nicotine, cannabis), and still others to manage minor pain.<BR/><BR/>If we were smart, we'd find other ways of dealing with our stress, with our inability to be fresh in the morning and, notwithstanding those who have real debilitating pain issues, understand and prevent pain.<BR/><BR/>(I know this is tangential to your point, but...)<BR/><BR/>FWIW, I'm not calling for legal sanctions - I support the decriminalization of those drugs currently illegal - nor am I suggesting that no one should ever use recreational drugs ever again. <BR/><BR/>What I am saying is that we all have some pretty bad habits. I can't believe it's at all healthy and we should start, as a society, taking a good hard look at what it is we're medicating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
