At our leavers lunch our tutor's speech literally consisted of the words above being written on a PowerPoint. To be honest I can't agree with him more simply because drugs suck.
It's pretty obvious why illegal drugs suck, addiction, waste of money, health problems etc. etc.
I can safely say so do prescribed drugs...
Earlier this week I went to my GP with blisters appearing over my face only to discover I had Impetigo (I don't know either, it took me ages to find out what it was because I never knew how to spell it) Basically a cut on my face got infected by bacteria. Apparently it was pretty bad so I was prescribed a drug called Flucloxacillin (cool name huh??) I can safely say apart from the name the only other cool thing about is the fact that the capsules are bright blue.
I'm on a pretty high dose of 4 500mg capsules a day. Frankly I've struggled with them, they have to be taken on an empty stomach or 1 hour before food, and this means regulating at what times you eat. Being a typical teenager i'm normally going to the fridge whenever I feel like it; but not anymore. I've missed out on pivotal food moments this week like getting biscuits before the rest of my family eat them, and forcing mum to have her birthday cake the next day so that I can get in all four doses (sorry mum!)
To tell you the truth i'm not having a great time with these capsules, they have a disgusting after taste if you don't take them with enough water and are also giving me side effects that appear in 1 in 10 people... . Luckily the infection has pretty much gone and I only have two days of treatment left.
