They come in small amber-colored plastic bottles with labels, prescribed
by
a doctor. They are safe when used properly by those for whom they are
prescribed.

Please explain what in that sentence is a lie, Jan.



That may one reason why nearly half of teenagers believe prescription
medication is safer to consume than marijuana, cocaine and other illicit
drugs.

When used properly, that is probably correct. Would you prefer it if
children threw away their prescription drugs and started doing blow?



Law enforcement agencies and other organizations in Wilson say this area
doesn't currently have a significant problem with teenage prescription
drug
abuse. But if families don't take care to monitor their children,
authorities warn, that could change.

Ah, I see we are talking about abuse. That is a problem, but it has
nothing to do with drugs "when used properly by those for whom they
are prescribed".



Prescription drug abuse in the U.S. is increasing and could surpass
illicit
drug use, according to a report from Partnership for a Drug-Free N.C.

Yes, drug abuse is a problem. Why is this relevant to a newsgroup
about alternative medicine?

One in 10 teenagers in N.C. reported using prescription painkillers in
the
last month, the organization said in a press release, and 40 percent of
teens believe prescription medications are less risky than drugs like
marijuana, heroin and cocaine.

The writer is repeating himself. Perhaps Prozac could be effective for
the OCD.

Are you saying that only a 'doctor' can advise on who should have
their minds and emotions controlled? That's the lie.

Actually, that's an opinion. You may disagree with the opinion, but it is an
opinion, not a lie.

However, in most places, all prescriptions must be made by a physician. In
some places, psychologists may be allowed to write prescriptions. And, of
course, psychologists and other mental health experts certainly have
valuable opinions to share with physicians.

Or are you saying
that only a doctor can advise on what is dangerous and what is not?
That's also the lie.

That is also an opinion. And, of course, psychologists and other mental
health professions clearly have good advice when it comes to medication.

People believe that mind control is safe if a doctor 'prescribes' it.

Doctors do not prescribe mind control. Rather, they prescribe medications
that help people take better control of thier lives. Get a clue, man.

You sure should. Starting with the side effects and damage from ADHD drugs.

Like I said note the lie.

They are safe when used properly by those for whom they are
prescribed.

FACT: They are NOT safe.


The moral panic arising from free use of drugs is in part, a response
to the threat of undermining 'the doctor'.

This doesn't make sense, either.

Thanks for your opinion. Mine is it is dead on.

There is definitely a mistaken belief that if a drug is prescribed by a
doctor, the drug is safe for other patients.

Jeff
And...safe for *THE* patient.

Peter is famous for asking questions, he very well should and does know
about.

I have posted plenty. Peter trolls me with nearly every post, he's sore
because I have proven him a liar many times.

Actually, John Jones was asking Peter a quesrion.

However, in most places, all prescriptions must be made by a physician. In

Like pushing ADHD drugs and even to very young kids.

Or are you saying

That's also the lie.

That is also an opinion.

First there was a question to Peter (lying) Bowditch, NOT you,,,,


And, of course, psychologists and other mental

Jeff
Clearly?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Actually, it is very sad that this world is DRUGGING kids and babies.

Correct. Drugs, when taken as prescribed and under the supervision of a
