[Tonimez]

This is very interesting topic and every community need awareness about this issue because we can't count damages this self medication have caused to many people. And even over the counter drugs that Majority of people think that they can take without prescription also have their own repercussions, ranging from drug dependency, ulcer, drug resistant and Some drugs even went far and cause kidney failure when take in excess.

If you observe you will notice that some people seek medical care only if their system is completely down, and for some individuals their system only respond to the strong drugs because they have being abusing many drugs of their choice before. So this has to be stop if not people will continue intoxicating them self with self medication.

The MJ the boomers used to smoke at Woodstock was 15%-20%.  Today I buy 33%+ and get 14g for $30CDN.  Most doctors recommend smoking MJ over drinking, and for me it helps my dizziness so every now and then I may partake if my hot wife agrees...

It is very common practise that people start taking pain killers if they feel pain in any body part without knowing that these pain killers can severely damage their kidneys. If you are taking self medication then there is a vital chance that such medication can damage your vital body parts. If you are taking antibiotics without doctor advice then keep in mind that they can kill good bacteria also along with bad bacteria inside your body because they can't distinguish between the two.

Rich people do not think twice to go to hospital if anything happened to them, but different is the case for people that are not rich or people that are poor.

Self mediation is not good but people that are poor will not go to hospital until the illness is getting worse. If they take drug and it relieved them, they will not think of going to hospital.

But some disease can first appear like malaria or other common diseases that can be treated easily at home. The first acute symptoms can go on its own thinking the drung used is effective. It may not be known in time and that can be what will later kill the person when it is too late. Knowing it earlier is better but life is just what it is because self-medication is cheaper.

The rich always go to the hospital whenever they are sick to get proper medical treatment while the poor mostly rely on self medication and this is very wrong. Taking drugs without doctors prescription is very bad and it can cause serious harm to ones system. However, the reason why the poor mostly rely on self medication is because they can afford hospital bills and for the rich this isn't a problem to them. Also most of the poor people don't understand the harmful effects of self medication to them it is just like normal thing. Therefore, self medication can be reduced if hospital bills are affordable.

Vod, maybe I will advise that you only continue licking your boobs than adding up with MJ,  I know some few doctors do recommend for taking it, but it is more better that we consider the side effect as well and not only the benefit you stand to gain, must it be that it cost us something else just to benefit the other.

Any medication taken without being prescribed by the physician is an abuse and such could be termed as well as drug intake, because we are most likely not to take the right pills or proportion as needed adequately, self medication is not good and should be discouraged.

An average man always feels that he knows everything that's going on with him and so when headache comes, he uses the prescription the doctors once administered to him on that headache and when carter comes , he tags it fever and the next is maleria. Though most times these are the common sicknesses, administering drugs without the help of a doctor is of serious danger because you might be building a lot of anti body resistance by consuming similar drugs for different purposes.

The hospitals are becoming even more useless because they give you outrageous prices for just consultation and there delay is on another level.  Self medication has more disadvantages than the good side both the poor medical system available always makes one result to the use of such what we know to avoid over spending and delays.

Marijuana is good because it's a natural leave without any chemicals mixed with it. My doctor also advised that's better to take MJ than any other hard drugs or alcohol because those ones are diluted with chemicals that can affect your lungs. If I'm tired and overworked out, I take a little puff to ease me from much thinking because it makes me sleep well like a baby.

Both my cardiologist and my regular doctor would have me puff a small joint before a long walk.   One drink or one puff effects destructively interfere with my dizziness giving me more energy.  Alcohol destroys the body, while puffing is safer than smoking cigarettes now.   Plus, ever since I discovered the milled product (which is healthier contains no stems) I don't even need to grind like a sucker.     And I can communicate with people without regretting it the day after.

This is getting interesting, it is of no doubt that marijuana has it benefits side on human health, there have been several Discovery about its applications even in medicine, because some of the medications we use today are made up of elements from marijuana, only that people do abuse everything that they were being privileged to use and this is by government is not taking it that likely to see people use some of this drugs anyhow, but that been said, do the doctors that suggest taking such at a recommended rate also take MJ?

Taking pills after being stressed from work could have been prevented by taking some rest, drinking enough water and eating balanced diet, instead of taking body pain pills on what needed some nap for us to regain our body, i also found out that many have been used to taking body pain killer more often after been worn-out of little work, this is bad and affect our organs when taken in excess or overdose.

There is how the human body is wired. It is wired on adaptation. What you feed the body with for a long time, the body will no longer be able to survive if you stop feeding it. It might survive, but it will struggle for a very long time.

When I was younger, my mom didn't train me with excessive drugs, tablets and injections. She only goes to the local pharmacist in an extreme condition. That training made my immune system so strong and able to fight disease. Now that I am an adult, I could go for years without any form of sickness.

In same manner, people who cannot live without medication will continue to give their body the medication it needs because the antibodies have not been trained to fight for the body.

It is quite right but we can't keep on allowing the bad things to happen even after we are knowing the consequences. When we are young and strong the body will handle everything, with or without medication but once we are old atleast 50 years then we will be having some chronical disease that surely needs medication for body management and for that we need out body to survive the side effects, if we did that already in our young days then it is be hard to manage when some chronic condition hits us.

I would hope not!   Even if it's legal, there are still downsides - memory being one of them.    To lose your memory on alcohol you need to slow your brain down to where it needs to take care of life support and doesn't care about remembering.  However with MJ you can forget the same events and have no noticeable effects when you wake up.  In other words, doctors could use MJ to cope, but they would quickly be surpassed by others.
