Well that's just not true. Look at alcohol or cigarettes as an example. In fact, these chemicals control populations so well that it pisses off governments to the point where the periodically outlaw the stuff. How do you think the drug trade survives? People literally treat their societal problems with chemicals all the time.
Your doctor hopefully isn't prescribing booze or cigarettes.
Only COOL doctors prescribe booze and cigarettes. Like House.
House was prescribing viagra as heart medicine. 🤣
I mean, that’s not so far fetched.
Hell yeah brother.
That doesn't resolve the issue. It just numbs you to it for a while.
