I look at what the posters in other threads are taking….diabetes meds, blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, you name it and they are taking it….myself included, and I can see the effect that the drug companies have on this country.
Okay, if you took amphetamines…speed, if you want to call it that, then you wouldn’t be over weight. Okay, so that means that you wouldn’t have all of the ailments that you now have. That means that you wouldn’t have to take your insulin or whatever you take to help control your diabetes. You wouldn’t be taking your blood pressure medicine…..you wouldn’t be taking your cholesterol medicine…..and so on. What you would be taking would be amphetamines, if you so choose.
Okay, lets look at the dollar amount….what do your diabetes meds cost per year? How about your blood pressure meds, your cholesterol meds, and so on, cost per year. For me, those costs are over $10,000 a year.(don’t forget your test strips).
So, how much would it cost you for amphetamines per year? Last I checked, it was $18 a month. That comes to $216 a year. Let’s see…..$216 compared to well over $10,000 a year. Do you think the drug companies care about your health? If they did, then why did they lobby Congress to limit amphetamine use? Amphetamines are not addictive, and they do not cause any serious side effects (I know, I was on them for 10 years), so why not allow them so that we don’t develop the problems we now have? Oh, that’s right, it’s all about money, and how much the drug companies can make off of our ill health.
This is a rant, so sorry about that, but this is something that pisses me off to no end. Had I been allowed to stay on amphetamines, I wouldn’t have the health issues I have now….plus I’d feel great, and I wouldn’t be over weight. Anything negative you read about amphetamines was reported by the drug companies….it’s all bull, and it was reported so that Congress would ban them so that you would get fat and develop all of the problems you now have.
For those that have never been on amphetamines, let me ask you this…..how would you feel if you could take a pill that cost you $18 for a month’s supply, and this pill kept you thin, made you feel great, and prevented you from developing the problems you now have. Would you take it? I did, and back then it was wonderful. These days you can’t buy that type of amphetamine anymore because it causes the drug companies to lose too much money.
The drug companies dictate the health policies of this country, and they are a self serving bunch of a$$holes that are only interested in making a huge profit….screw you and your health, as long as they can make a huge profit.
Rant over….
