yeah, I was talking about meth, as in meth-lab meth…rots your teeth, makes you pick your face and look crazy, meth…doing time in prison because you blew up your trailor trying to cook it, meth…made rehab your forwarding address, meth. I don’t know any doctors that prescribe street drugs. There are, however, drugs being manufactured that may be similar to street drugs, though produced in a controlled environment by trained professionals. Said drugs, when used properly, are administered by physicians, not street dealers. Please, let’s not confuse medical intervention under physician’s supervision with, “Damn I’m getting kind of fat…I think I’ll hit up the dealer on the nearest corner and pop a few pills as I see fit so I can tweak out for a while until I lose the weight.” Big difference, IMO. As I said, whether or not it is truly the healthy choice will change from individual to individual, depending on their set of circumstances. I would rather take Phentermine under my physcian’s care for a couple of months than be rolling around in a wheel-chair for 6 months followed by 6 or more months of physical therapy and the frustration of learning to walk again (for the 3rd time). But that’s just me.
