St. John's Wort is supposed to be an effective antidepressant, but it's not regulated because it is a natural herb. And it does have risky side effects. Herbal medicines never get regulated by the FDA. If marijuana were manufactured by a pharmaceutical company it would be different. I'm not saying that is right. I actually think doctors should be more involved in prescribing herbal medicines, especially because we know they can interfere with prescribed meds. I read that you have to get St. John's Wort prescribed by a physician in different countries in Europe. And that makes total sense to me. Antidepressant is monitored usually, and it is an antidepressant.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030949818467743750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-20126692520255001692012-03-11T13:12:21.937-04:002012-03-11T13:12:21.937-04:00Legal -> Exposure -> Use -> addiction -&g...Legal -> Exposure -> Use -> addiction -> crime, psychosis, etc...<br /><br />There are so many things that are misleading about legalizing marijuana that if it weren't so sad it would be funny.<br /><br />"It's natural" <br />- so is hemlock<br /><br />"It's harmless" <br />- tell that to the psychotic patients I have who just "used a little pot"<br /><br />I know not everyone gets addicted. I know not everyone ends up committing crimes, or becoming psychotic. But are we willing to find out how many addicts there are? Are we willing to legalize it and just see what happens.<br /><br />That's gone over great with Tobacco and Alcohol. Good thing those two don't kill people, and we don't spend MILLIONS trying to treat and rehabilitate people from those two substances.Simple Citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100369477704457506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-12578193942245952642012-03-11T10:37:46.951-04:002012-03-11T10:37:46.951-04:00From one anon when another anon corrected Dinah...From one anon when another anon corrected Dinah's spelling:"Do you really have nothing better to do with your life than mock people who make simple typing errors?"<br /><br />Apprantly, it is okay when someone else makes the error.<br /><br />I recall the complaint that shrink haters are drawn to shrink type blogs.

Just one cheek, a...Aww, shucks, I'm blushing*. Just one cheek, apparently. Tee hee.<br /><br />Coming from you, that means an awful lot. Thank you! <br /><br />I went back and re-read what I wrote. It might be just what I need right now, because I'm actually on the brink of doing something really stupid, as I'm so weary from fighting those wild horses of mania this last year and a half and I'm somewhat committed to a a really bad thing.<br /><br />Sometimes my writing is really wandery, but when I can focus, there are times I'm able to put things in a way that it paints an emotive, mental, or visual picture for the reader . . . I used to think I could be a writer. Now, well, I hope the things I do write touch someone, sometime, but I can't consistently hit that zone of being a nicely focused writer. When I hit it though I feel good.<br /><br />I'm happy that you thought of me. And that Clink thought enough of my comment to share it with others.<br /><br />Back when I could actually write poetry, here is one that I led off my Piebolar blog with, that I think is quite expressive:<br /><br />http://piebolar.blogspot.com/2005/08/greetings-programs.htmlSarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-88413668820674160642012-03-10T20:48:50.846-05:002012-03-10T20:48:50.846-05:00Once on the inpatient unit in California, I wasted...Once on the inpatient unit in California, I wasted many minutes of my life that I'll never get back trying to explain to a young man that "medical marijuana" is the same thing as marijuana.<br /><br />Had I the presence of mind to record and anonymize that conversation, it would be all the evidence I'd ever need. <br /><br />:-)Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912133587868824797noreply@blogger.com
