> > When I talked about this subject with my "shrink" and he went down the list of usual reasons why it is bad; and I am able to respond to each one with the facts that show he is wrong, he ultimately is left with nothing else to say except that "it's still illegal". It really screws him up when I bring up all the recent progress made in decriminalization and the fact that doctors in those certain states are able to actually prescribe it. It blows their mind that someone can actually sit there and contradict their views with actual facts to the contrary. Some of these hard-core doctors will go to their grave without accepting the proven facts from study after study, that shows they are wrong. We will have to deal with this problem for many years to come, I'm afraid.

> shrinks aren't wanting you to not smoke bud because of some harm that will occur, they don't want you to smoke because its something 'bad' people do and someone with mental illness isn't capable of self-regulation or deciding his own values; thats the shrink's job now. just take your pills like you're told.

> -d/rTouche'-It does feel like my Mental Health Doc. is talking to me as if I was a "bad boy" and in need of a good spanking. Sort of like my Dad used to do when I was a teen. I guess I'll just take all my SRRI's and wait for all my problems to go away. I know they will because my Doctor said they will.
