For goodness sake, then don't buy them! And who goes to a doctor to get a specific medicine? And what doctor doesn't ask for the symptoms of your problem before prescribing? If these feeble minded consumers are as ignorant as you say after seeing these commercials they shouldn't be able to fake having the symptoms required, should they.Originally posted by SinisterMotives
Sure, the commercials all say "Ask your doctor if Brand X is right for you." But how would you know to ask your doctor that if you don't know whether you have the symptoms Brand X is supposed to alleviate? And keep in mind that abusing legitimately prescribed drugs is just as popular as abusing illicit drugs and herbs nowadays. In fact, I get 10 spam e-mails a day telling me how easily I can get prescription pain relievers over the Internet, and I don't have a legitimate need for them.
If all people were as malleable as you suggest, why is anything legal and without federal approvals? I mean just living can lead to abusive behavior. Perhaps chocolate cake, which has to be the most easily available substance on earth and affordable too, should be illegal to keep the obese from obtaining it?
Absurd? Yes, just like the supposed connection between casinos and drug dealers.
