I avoid taking OTC medicine when possible, much less prescription, and even much less recreational drugs. I'm more into the natural approach. Many herbs can be as helpful as synthetic drugs, but without so many harsh side effects. I know Mary Jane is an herb, but there are many many herbs that are helpful, but not addictive, and don't give you a "high". Recreational drugs are dangerous, and even prescription and OTC medicines can be very harmful if used for prolonged periods of time. Questions? Comments? Just call me herbal-lady!
