Tempted by Prescription Drugs?

Question by korkykrayon: tempted by prescription drugs?
I’ve really been scaring myself lately. I find myself increasingly anxious and depressed, mostly at night when there is nothing to do, and it’s at this time, when I’m lying in bed or surfing the web that my mind drifts to drugs. I keep thinking about taking the prescription drugs that I know are in my house just out of curiosity. I’ve never even smoked weed so I have no history of being drug-curious, but for some reason, the allure is there. During the day, I think about what was going through my head the night before and almost laugh at the stupidity of it, but then that night, it happens all over again. Anyone heard of exhibiting the psychological signs of addiction without having taken the drug? Anyway. My main question is: what the hell is wrong with me? Why am I thinking about these drugs, and how can I stop? And I should mention that I can’t really throw the drugs out because they belong to my parents; they’d probably notice and assume I was doing them anyway. (Irony, anybody?)
“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard in my life.”
Big fan of that show. And thanks for the response.

Why American Celebrities Mostly Abuse Marijuana, Cocaine and Prescription Drugs?

Question by Moon M: Why American celebrities mostly abuse marijuana, cocaine and prescription drugs?
Why don’t they abuse Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, Ecstacy or other psycho-stimulants?

Best answer:

Answer by King Halo
Marijuana: because there has been no conclusive study to prove that it has ever harmed anyone ever.
Cocaine: Considered “the drug of the rich” and celebrities.
Prescription drugs: Those are usually “the best”, and the reason more people don’t do them is because most people don’t have celebrity money or hookups to procure any kind of easily abused prescription drug.
Amphetamines, Ketamine, X, Roofies, LSD, Acid, PCP, and Crack are more street drugs than the drugs to be done by a celebrity, and what does a celebrity have if not his/her reputation?

Looking for Help for My Drug Addict?

Question by dkcasad: Looking for Help for my Drug Addict?
I have a son who has struggled with drug addiction, choice of drug is/was oxycontin. He is now in jail after some very poor choices and will be spending time in prison. He is 24. I am in Indiana and am looking for an organization that might be able to help me at his sentencing with information on these evil prescription drugs and what they are doing to our children. My son did not commit the crime, my drugged out son did. He once was a star basketball player and a 3.0 student. Please only serious inquires that want to help or have information that can connect me with the right people.
correction- I meant serious responses not serious inquires, typo.
