Yeah, I don't think I could handle being on it all the time. I do believe there is legitimate medical use for it, though. I've always felt that if more people took it, there would be less war, for sure. Nobody wants to fight while rolling. :)
I used to disbelieve that there was any lasting damage for taking it, but I have a lot more mental fog now than I used to. And aphasia, omfg. In the Stphen King novel (yes, I do get a LOT out of his books, hehe) The Dead Zone, after Johnny Smith wakes from his coma he has "dead zones" (hence the title) where he knew connections used to exist, but now they're gone. I run across things I used to know all the time, but it like I run into a "road closed" sign. I can almost see what I'm trying to reach, but it's just beyond my field of vision. It's terrible. My bff and I joke about it, referencing an early episode of Weeds where the oldest son is brought home by a cop while he is on X. The cop says that using X is like taking "ice cream scoops" out of your brain. So she and I talk about about my missing ice cream scoops. It's what I say anytime I do something stupid or can't remember something or can't figure out a simple task or problem. Very frustrating. And if that's not the problem, I don't know what is.
