Don't do drugs, kids

Drugs, no matter how minor, how temporary, or how mild, affect us in ways that ... well, some ways we know, and some tend to have side effects that seem worse than the actual problem the drugs are there to fix. I believe the majority of drugs, both OTC as well as pharmaceutical, were created to do  good. However, lately, it seems that the FDA has not been fully vetting many drugs on the market, and drugs that require long-term double-blind testing are getting very short shrift. Many drugs are not tested thoroughly enough, for long enough, to determine what long-term effects the drug(s) will have on human physiology, and have been forced into the market in order to bring in quick drug dollars. That, in an of itself, should send shivers up our spines.

Overall, drugs have done much to enhance and extend our lives, but too many of the wrong type can really mess you up...kinda like they did to Louise Mensch:

And lest we forget, the most prolific "drug" is perfectly legal:

If you must be "hooked" on something, make it the word of the Lord, which will fill you and fulfill you in more ways than you can imagine!
