I thought pharmacists were loaded with medicinal supplies... like chill pills... I'd find it very scary to believe that people would take medical advice on this forum

I find it scary to believe that ANYONE takes advice (especially medical advice) from someone on an internet forum without verifying what they have been told against information from a reputable source.
Perhaps I lack compassion, or maybe I'm just a grumpy old misanthropist, but I see little reason to stand in the way of Darwinism. King Canute took a similar approach, and it didn't end well.

I would never realy upon random health advices threw around forums and blogs. It's just common sense! Also everything you read on the internet should be taken with a grain of salt.
While I could understand your anger towards people preaching their inconsistent knowledge about whatever matter I don't understand why you aren't mad at people who actually trust them. They are just the same kind of people! I'd say the major part of people that believe everything by hearsay are the same who like to give random advices without caring of the consequences. They'll just keep doing so, no matter how much we try to make them aware.
If someone is so dumb to trust everything people tells them without question, well...I'd say it's natural selection.

Wiskey, milk and honey is my favourite medicine most of the time.

I think the tl;dr should read "I smoke weed and I raged when I saw the thread since I'm currently out and disagree with many of your opinions".
Anyway, can I see your credentials so I know that you're not "wielding medical facts without having a fucking clue"? I see that you're going for your PharmD, are you going to be one of the pharmacist that consider themselves a doctor once they're finished? lol

I don't really know if you didn't really read the topic or you are simply teasing me.
I don't smoke weed, I don't care about what people smoke as long as they are fully informed and capable to make a sensitive decision being aware of both risks and benefits.
Also I have no need to show you any credentials at all as my only adivice has been to listen to health care professionals. I haven't given any counsel apart from that. All the rant can be sumed up as Follow medical advice from professionals, refrain from automedicating and fullfill treatments I consider that prety common sense-ish. Don't you?
Also, if that's what you are hinting at, I'm no frustrated doctor. I never wanted to study Medicine in the first place, I got the grades and I could have been admitted but never wanted to. So I'm pretty happy with what I am and what I'm going to become. I don't need to play any other role. Also I'm rather aware of what my legal compentencies are, and I would not like to have my future pratising license revoked, or be sued.

As a licensed internet doctor, I prescribe two 500mg chill pills, stat.
(But seriously, I get what you're saying and you're right. The people who need to hear it aren't the ones who are going to listen, though, and I don't get why you posted it on this particular forum.)

I've been under a lot of stress to be honest. And I think I just had to rant somewhere and that's where I was at the moment and that other topic triggered it. But yeah, it's a general trend on the iterwebs.

Such attitude and you have yet to become a full fledged pharmacist! Clearly by using uppercase on key terms and phrases (SCIENTIFIC, STOP GIVING FUCKING MEDICAL ADVICE, YOU MIGH BE CAUSING DAMAGE TO SOMEONE), throwing a slurry of curse words, you have everyone's best interest at heart and are a well-respected, mature, tolerant individual. I can't wait to see what sort of entitled rants come out of you when you are an actual pharmacist! Please do post here again!

My spidey sense is tingling.
This guy is trying to help people and stop them (us) from doing something stupid. If he has to yell, scream and behave like an attention whore, then he does it but sincerely a tiny bit of respect for someone who clearly has an intention of saying cut the crap and behave or you have a big chance of ending up like a roadkill is nice and should be appreciated, so thank you Mr. Castiglia.

Hmm, you nailed the attention whore part ;_;
Thanks you for the support though. I'd be happy if the message gets along,even if it's only to a handful of people.

I didn't mean the insulting way but rather the... crap, I dunno how to explain. I didn't mean to insult you. It's good that you've opened topic instead of just posting it in weed topic. It makes it more accessible and visible to people, that's what I meant. I really do stand with you on this one and I sincerely apologise if you have taken it the bad way. I had no intention to insult you in any way.
Comment has been collapsed.
No need for apologizing man. Seriously. I did open a new topic looking for attention. I was afraid it could be overlooked in the other one.
Cheers!

I was actually pissed and mad, so I didn't really use the best way of communicating. But I'd appreciate if you had a look at the message rather than the way it's presented. Thanks.
And I consider myself rather mature and tolerant and I assure you I'm far from being entitled. I do am rather vehement and passionate when it comes to my field of work. So that's it.
And I will keep posting, don't doubt it.

God I hope you're joking/trolling... But just in case you're not (and for anyone who actually believes what you're saying), at best it functions as pain relief. That doesn't stop you from dying from whatever's affecting you, it just might make you a bit more comfortable while you die.

I don't care as long as they are not threatening everyone else's safety and health. That's sacred to me.

I didn't even bother to open those two topics you mentioned and now I'm glad I didn't. Thanks for the summary and the rebuttal^^

Head to your nearest doctor for counselling and diagnosis.

So you're supporting giving unqualified medical advice in a video game giveaway forum?
Surgeon Sim is getting to your head.

Never heard of it, but I did play dr mario and that surgery game on the wii. so I'm qualified to stuff you with pills which will hopefully neutralize those other pills i accidentally thew in there, and if all else fails carve a pentacle in your chest and slow time to save this patient for the glory of satan.

+1. I'm a future rocket scientist, guys. I bag groceries though.
Comment has been collapsed.
I fully support your idea and I believe that should go with anything.
Don't give your advice on something that you are not qualified on and that could damage the lives of other people.
In our society we think everyone, including ourselves are experts and that everyone should listen to us just because we have access to a keyboard and the internet.

Dear SG user,
I'm adressing you mostly because of one simple thing. And that is, that if you like to throw medical advice around and you are no health professional or have the very least idea of what the fuck you are talking about, well. I sincerely hope you burn in hell.
I have no ill intentions towards any of you, random strangers surfing the internet. But there's only one thing that really pisses me off, that could make me kill people with my bare hands, is those kind of persons that like to start spurting random medical and mostly made up data without having not a fucking clue of what they are talking about.
If by this point you are wondering why am I writing this, well I'll answer you, it's mostly because of the weed topic, well that one and the previous cigar one. I could go into more insight but if you say, weed fights cancer, you better back it up by some SCIENTIFIC research. And, no dear stranger, articles published in a website named www.legalize.it are not SCIENTIFIC. If you are not familiar with the Scientific Method and the procedures a drug has to go through to be considered as effective and safe to use I'd gladly explain them to you later on. But please STOP GIVING FUCKING MEDICAL ADVICE.
You are playing with your life and everyone else's, can't you see it? Every time you automedicate, every fucking time you say, Hey have this amoxicilyn for that headache, they cured me. every fucking single time you say things of the sort as weed is healthy, there's no problem in taking steroids. I'm doing a ketogenic diet and I'm perfectly well, it's totally safe. YOU MIGH BE CAUSING DAMAGE TO SOMEONE. And not psicologycal one, but physical and sometimes irreversible one. Not to mention that by using medicines badly, and that is any of the following:
Not fullfilling treatments.
Automedicating.
To name the two main ones, you are creating SUPERBUGS, bacteria and viruses develop resistences to medication. I will gladly go into further detail if someone is interested, but what you are doing is causing a lot of health problems. Did you know that penicillin is almost useless now in many of its forms? [citation needed]
So that's it. Be aware that everything can and eventually will kill you. Jesus Christ, you will die of breathing too much if you don't do so before by other means. And now I'll quote Paracelsus Alle Dinge sind ein Gift und nichts ist ohne Gift. Allein die Dosis macht, daß ein Ding kein Gift ist that is roughly The dose makes the poison
All the drugs used daily are lethal in some dosis or another, there's something called therapeutical margin that determines in which concentrations they are safe to use. For example Digoxin will cause hallucinations if overdosed. Paracetamol will destroy your liver and Aspirin will pierce your stomach. That is, if they are not used properly. So please for your own benefit and everybody's, do so. I beg you.
Now into the weed topic, something having medical uses does not mean it's healthy. Did you know that heroin can be used to stop cough? And cocaine is a good local anaesthesic? Now, would you recommend someone to have those? That's it. I'm not saying you shouldn't or should smoke weed, or inject yourself heroin. But be aware of the risk and act consecuently, and most important be able to take an informed decisition.
So, please, next time you are going to take some Augmentine because your head hurts or you have a cold, or you want to claim that there's no such thing as cancer, or that it can be cured through meditation. Please, fucking refrain.
Sincerely,
A future Pharmacist.
TL;DR: Don't be an asshole
