I understand doctors' oreders re: skin cancer. You get that, and you can die, and its a rather pointless death, because the cause was not some very fulfilling vice which made the time you had better.
But these docs with their drinking and smoking and drugging warnings can go to hell. Ever read a doc's warnings on booze? I'd be dead already if they were true, and I'm not alone. I'm also not cirrhotic. I'd sue the fucks for falsely warning people for no good reason if I could. Same goes with moderate smoking. My doc friends readily admit "Yeh, a few a day probably won't do much and binging on a weekend isn't likely to kill you." But the goddamn AMA says any cigarette is too much, because they think we're all too stupid to moderate our consumption. I've smoked for years, but only sparingly, here and there. Never been addicted. My blood pressure is exceptional. As to dope, its all lies. Every stitch of it. Here's what the docs really oughta say "Smoking dope is fine, since you'll never smoke nearly enough to do real damage, because a few bong hits get the normal man 'where he needs to be'." As to coke, "Well, you shouldn't 'Lowell George' piles of the stuff, but chances are, if you're young and careful and healthy, a few rails at a party now and again aren't likey to do anything more than keep you up way longer than you'd like or cause you to say some really stupid shit." As to hallucinogens, "Take them with friends and be outside if possible. Enjoy the ride. No negative side effects whatsoever."
The AMA's rejection of Bush's Abstinence-Only policy toward curbing sexual disease and teen pregnancy is hypocritical horseshit when you consider that it engages in the same disinformation game as to everything I've cited above.
I guess its because the average American really isn't smart enough to moderate his own appetites...
Whew, was that a rant...
