Do you know how many products can be abused.

Shall we not have cough medicine because people take the whole bottle.

All the really good glue has fumes you can sniff, and so do a ton of other products.

Should we outlaw our vacuum cleaners cause some idiot get his wanger stuck in it.

No I think the lollipop idea is super for people who really need it. You can't let abuse of a needed product be it's end, or we would have no drugs for real illnesses.

As far as kids getting drugs, better talk to them, and often, there are already a lot of nasty substances in temporary tatoos, and other attractive packaging for drugs.

No, but we probably shouldn't color it in pastels and put it in wax tubes.

That's fine. We probably should have a glue fume candy bar.

No, but we probably shouldn't sell vaccuumm cleaners that look like vaginas. Or men's asses for you Brits.

Thankfully here in England this is all behind us since we tackled the drug problem.

Each kindergarten has (as a legal obligation) a licensed pharmacist and every child is entitled to at least 2 rocks of crack cocaine per week (although black kids get 3) Smiley: smile

Muslims are entitled to as much of Colombia's finest nose-candy as they can stand (happily paid for by tax payers) Smiley: smile

We all now have a skin test to verify whether we're dark enough to qualify for the weekly 3oz of free Ganja (The cost of sunbeds has gone through the roof though) Smiley: smile

All Pastors, Vicars, Preachers, Priests, Imams and Rabbis are entitled to free denim and hip-hop CDs. Smiley: smile

But the National Health Service still has no freaking clue on pain relief for terminally in patients Smiley: rolleyes

Well thanks awfully for the offer, but thankfully English women are more attractive than the mutant Britney/Justin/Oprah/Rumsfeld clones (are they the same person?) you have to choose from, so converse to the US way of life, we exercise our asses in the toilet and our women in the bedroom.

It's like a parallel universe isn't it! Smiley: wink

Here's your proof Smash kids were getting addicted to drugs long before the advent of the lollypop painkiller. The point is that the product that you are talking about is used very effectivly as it is intended the fact that some bonehead thought of a way to abuse it does not mean we should get rid of it.
Kids sniff glue, freon, gas, whipped cream, heck I heard of people mixing lysol with cool-aid to get drunk. It;s not the packaging it;s the upbringing, and sometimes a good upbringing doesnt even work.

Yanari is right show the stats that more kids are addicted to drugs due to the fact that it comes in lollypop form and you might win the arguement otherwise what's the differce if they suck on a lollypop or stick something up thier *** to get high? They are still getting high and becoming addicted right?

Who said we should get rid of it? It just strikes me as clever marketing targeted clearly at children.

That's the problem with you fu'cknuts. You Assume if A is true that B C D E F G H I J and K must be also. Then if you don't want K to be true you pretend A isn.t

That's fine. Again I'll say we probably should sell glue fume candy bars.

The diffrence is a large corperation didn't intentionaly develop a delivery system for a drug that is IDENTICAL to a child's candy.

That's the diffrence.

Why on earth would they target it at children? It's not something you can buy at a gas station with a fake ID. They aren't selling it over-the-counter. It may appeal to children as a consequence of its design, but I highly doubt that was their goal in creating it.


Unless all those drug dealers on the street corner are secretly working for Pfizer.

You're right, a drug company would never, ever, market drugs at people who didn't ligitmately NEED them.

Oh, and ask your doctor about the little purple pill.

Let me say it again, as it does not seem anyone was paying attention.

Quote:
I think all consumer drugs that are abused should only come in suppository form. Although this might be construed as targeting the gays.


This is basically supporting smash's arguement but completely in reverse. How many kids will stick things up their asses, I have no numbers, but I am guessing it is really low. Therefore, if that was the only way to get the painkillers into the body almost no kids are going to stick there finger and a pill up there *** to get high.

This would also stop the casual pill popper, not like you can throw down the pants and stick something up your *** on the bus, or even in your own personal car for that matter.

Quote:

If it consisted of 16 suppositories, I doubt you would have a problem.

Also for people who are nauseous, well that’s ok too, one up the hoop and your good as new. I don't think diarrhea medications are abused anyway. Anybody want to score some Imodium?

Give it some more thought and you will see that I am right.

There's a difference between marketing possibly unnecessary drugs at adults, and trying to trick kids into thinking a drug is candy.


Purple Pill? You mean Prilosec the heartburn pill? From a few minutes of research, it seems that it was famously/infamously well marketed, yet actually offered relief to it's users. Although some doctors disagree. Either way, it's hardly on the same level as peddling prescription painkillers to 10-year-olds

You're right, it's not nearly as bad as the ******* lolipops.

What would it take to convince you? ******* Flinstones Chewable Morphine?

Yes, that would convince me. But that's not what they are doing. There's no cartoon characters on the "berry-flavored lozenge on a stick" (as I will now refer to it as).

Simply chewable morphine I would support, for people with an aversion to swallowing pills (if morphine were delivered by pill).

I suppose you think Nicorette is a ploy to get kids addicted to nicotine because it resembles chewing gum?

No, it tastes like licking the floor of a never cleaned movie theatre.

If it was hidden in the center of LOLYPOP and tasted like berries, yeah, I'd be a little suspicous.

Nah, just a mindfull of useless trivia. Flinstones Chewable Morphine is from "The Simpsons" not my invention.

They do have morophine in a pill. My wife took that also.

The difference here is that the drug companies arent selling it to pushers or kids. If you have ever seen or tasted one of these lolipops. (I have) the "berry flavor" is an extremely liberal description. (kinda like nicorette comes in mint..) It has a hint of berries smothered in medicine.

the idea behind the lolipop is that the person using it can suck on it when they need to but can take it out of their mouth when the pain subsides. It is supposed to alleviate the drugged up feeling yuo get when you are forced to use heavy drugs to overcome extreme pain. My wife tried for months to get the right doseage of pain medicine before trying these.

BTW Smash when I said it was a lifesaver for her I meant that because of these her life while she had it was much better. Not that it saved her life. The fact that she died makes that pretty obvious I would think... *******. Kisses.

Look, in defrence to your wife, I'll let this go.

You're right, I'm wrong, there was no intent by the drug company to market this towards kids.

Whether or not it is marketed towards children is irrevelant. The average 13 year old won't like needles all too much, but hey, everyone loves a lolipop.



There's no possible way that this wouldn't help kids get into drugs. It seems alot more innocuous to a young kids mind than a pill would, or something you smoke. It's candy.

Edit: I can't spell
