Wellbutrin and Ativan are heaven. I keep Ativan for only the most special (read: horrible) occasions, and aside from the calming effect, there is a little part of me that gets a bit happy when I was in a state where I need an Ativan. That is how awesome Ativan is.

Also, the backup secret stash of dilauded from my…

That was my experience for the first 3 weeks. Feeling high and happy or overstimulated and insanely emotional. The second week, when I upped my dose, was hell for about 36 hours. I took 2 weeks off from work, and then like magic a few days into my sabatical, I felt better than I ever have in my life. It's been fairly…

I was gonna post something similar, but for Wellbutrin. I am a guy and erectile issues were never reeeeally a part of my previous depression, but Wellbutrin is known to have the opposite effect on sex drive and weight gain that most anti-depressants do, and I have certainly found that to be the case. Especially at…

I might add that one does get the impression from reading basically any book on the subject that Russia kinda was a "World Power" in 1913. Centuries behind modernized nations and deeply troubled, but hella powerful.

Yeah, the title and entir rest of the article would lead one to believe that there are some people registering dismay at the eclipsing of the tyrannical despot's tomb.

No, Fellow Man, we men who grumble about having to wear condoms do not desire unplanned pregnancies and stds, that's why we're wearing condoms.

There's a slight dulling of the general pleasure that one feels in one's penis, but in general there is simply the awareness of a weird unnatural layer with peculiar suction sensations. Like doing dishes wearing those very thin latex gloves.

You know what the first step to combat overgrowth is? Education. Have a fucking dialogue in the western world about how we should under NO circumstances having families of more than 2 children (multiple births aside, of course) with an ideal aim of 1, to offset the fuckers who aren't very receptive to education. You…

Baboom! My thoughts exactly. I just responded similarly to another commentator, if you would like to direct yourself to my page. ;)

The world could be a much better place, in a way completely unprecedented in history, if every parent who had a child was overjoyed, and was devoted to raising that child as best they…

I, of course (of course of course of course) agree that the cultural perspectives that value males over females should be combated at every level. I think the suggestion to do that *so that there would not be the impetus to commit female infanticide in a one-child policy* was flippant and really pretty simple. Because…

I'm not the type to be terribly bothered by spoilers - I am just about to start this episode and I'm more excited for it now, but I do think that including the info that there is a rape scene in the title would be pretty legitimately annoying for others. There is no avoiding the title of an article, it's not like…

I think that lots of people deserve execution. I can think of dozens of individuals and larger groups of people guilty of specific crimes who deserve death, and without whom the world would be a better place. However, I firmly believe that anyone who would willingly give their government the right to kill them (since…

Yes, altering a strictly enforced one-child policy that results in female infanticide is a really fucking good idea. Know why? Because altering a policy is a lot easier than altering a centuries old cultural value system that favors boys over girls, as you flippantly suggest (though, as with everywhere else on earth,…

I wasn't discussing that, so I'm not sure if you meant to reply to me. In any case, the author of this story wasn't discussing that issue either, merely touching on it and linking to a researched article from the Telegraph. I don't know if you're familiar with the Telegraph, but they don't make up shit for page views.

We are way beyond that, in regards to maintaining our on species. Besides, the planet is cool. Earth ill continue as a complex and magnificent support of life no matter what we do (short of nuking the bitch.)

We have surpassed the threshold where the earth can support our species in these numbers. Taking care of our…

This is true. Though, most dealers I've met who deal in harder stuff (admittedly, I've had the good fortune not to know any heroin dealers) operate on the principle of never, never, never giving credit. They seem to want to limit their criminal activity to the "victimless crime" stuff without extending to the knee-cap…

Although on the upside, I'm sure the knowledge that theirs is not a super serious addiction makes it way easier for people to kick their addictions to weed/food/sex/nail biting whatever and way easier for them to find support among the community of recovering addicts. I mean, I bet the people at support groups pay…

That is a big reason why I'm a major proponent of legalization and education. Treat it like it is, an often-beneficial substance with a great potential for safe recreational use, which a potential for serious dependency. Prohibition contributes to a lack of education and understanding, and people become career stoners.

Did I use the word addictive in reference to marijuana?

Moreover, there are horrible physical symptoms which are part of the debilitating nature of the dependency. Not the same as addiction withdrawal symptoms, because it comes with near-constant use. Is alleviated by more use, but goes away after a few days of…

Your coworkers both sound like dicks (oh really, your friend had a real addiction? Great, dude) but marijuana dependency is a thing, and can potentially be extremely debilitating. It ruins peoples lives, but it does it a lot less interestingly than heroin.
