U.S. cannabis laws projected to cost pharmaceutical firms billions

Yeah and the inflated price too, the difficulty in getting it, the fear all the time, the fear of winding up a stereotypical pathetic addict. And bosses insisting on hair samples to test for drug use in the previous six months (wear a crew cut say you like looking like soldiers), that's not justified in all cases, some people use marihuana for endless work trances, do great work, 1 in 15 or so.

You have to let people take vitamins. That's what vitamins are, they're drugs, we depend on them, we're addicted to Vitamin A, we're addicted to all the Vitamins B, we're addicted to Vitamin C, we're addicted to Vitamin D even. Vitamin E...a bit. Can't make it ourselves--that's the alternatives generally--so we gotta find it somewhere. And tell you what, sailors by all means crave fruit when they have scurvy. Big Pharma, in their highest-secrecy shit they think nobody not even the NSA can see (they tell themselves a story why it's airtight) discuss rationing Vitamin C in the future.

It's for our own good, being we're addicts and all.

Heroin junkies I consider totally respectable, not interested in heroin but they're really cool, Heath Ledger for one, Philip Seymour-Hoffman, Keith Richards, and of course the addicts in the Nazi experiments, who in fact were allowed to self-medicate freely all-you-can-eat, sit back and watch. They went up and up and up, all the way to a gram a day, and this was pure not the Stockholm syndrome increasingly-diluted crap the "chasing the dragon" shit the dosage gaslighting. So in the Nazi experiment, the junkies all caught the dragon. Makes sense they chased that dragon to begin with, and they all had been ripped with tragedies really subhumanized.

There’s dozens and dozens of pharma companies, each with their own specialities in drug manufacturing. Some of them are going to lose billions.
