  1. I have personal experience with this. The mind-altering super dangerous drug Lyrica from Pfizer is illegally marketed to treat shingles. Pfizer was fined $2.3 billion for doing this.

    Well in March my dad went on Lyrica for Shingles without knowing any of this. It’s illegal for doctors to even prescribe it for this. Happens all the time. Well in just 3 days it shut down his organs, and he died less that 2 weeks later.

    Lyrica was originally for epilepsy, proven to be totally worthless for that. Then they promoted it for diabetic nerve pain, and also illegally market it for various other things.

    Lyrica is an insane, mind-altering drug, with the craziest of side effects. Giving people permanent brain damage, making them loose speech, and worse.

  2. Missed Jimmy Dore’s jokes during this debate but Wes is always an added welcome. I always know he’s not going to agree with someone just to be nice. Loved Ana’s passion during the debate as well. Work it girl…

  3. I am in college, and i occasionally use cannabis, heroin , LSD, or DMT for recreation and sometimes meth to help me stay up and study for midterm or finials. We only have one life, and if you use these substances sparsely then there is no long lasting health affects, it is good to change your perception everyone in awhile, its how i became a progressive liberal atheists. The issue only arises when one can not control use and starts doesing repetitively..

    1. Every college in America is run on meth and adderall. However, I wouldn’t recommend trying to study on LSD or … my god. … on DMT? If you did, you might have learned your own lessons from those studies, and not necessarily the ones you’ll be tested on. I remember trying to do Spanish homework while still an undergrad while only high on pot, and all my spanish sentences were about bats and dogs flying through space.

    2. YOLO or college are hardly reason to try potentially dangerous and addictive substances. Encouraging their use is not only stupid, but also dangerous.

      Obviously pot and DMT aren’t addictive, but meth and heroine? I don’t care who can “handle” it, because for every one who can, there’s ten more who’s lives would be ruined.

      People need to be educated realistically about drugs, no fear mongering, but that’s not to say that there aren’t dangerous drugs that should be avoided.

    3. How do you take the heroin? Smoke i tor inject it? I’m hoping you were just smoking it, cuz that ain’t as bad.

      Injecting heroin is ten times worst then any other drug, meth, coke (esp coke) really are nothing compared to heroin. I’ve done speed (slightly weaker form of meth) for fun many times but did not get addicted. However, if I do heroin, i’m certain my life would be over.

      Even if you are able to quit heroin, you spend the rest of your life craving and wanting another hit, and you would drop almost anything in order to go back & become a heroin addict.

      Please anyone who is reading, never touch heroin – and this is coming from someone who is very drug-liberated.

      1. David Cross, lover of all drugs, in his quest to try all drugs, tried heroin intravenously once. He did not get addicted. It is a dangerous game, though, and there have been a lot of OD’s lately.

  4. Ana is COMPLETELY right about the drugs thing in the beginning. I live in the south where most of this happens, and I personally know people this has happened too. Even with the doctors withdrawing the prescriptions because of overperscribing. This really does happen and is EXTREMELY prevalent. I meet few people who do not use some type of drug, be they illicit or otherwise. Pills are everywhere and everyone is addicted to them, it’s really an epidemic that’s out of control.
