Question

How many emergency room visits or deaths is the drug reponsible for?

Answer 1

There are no in-depth, long-term studies of the drug, but it has been blamed for health problems (mainly brain damage from extended use). Most of the propaganda you see on the TV ads are misinformation, but don't let that detract from the fact that it's a potentially dangerous drug. First of all, do you know who is synthesizing it? It's probably made by some uneducated person who cares nothing about how his product affects your mind or body. It's probably made with the cheapest chemicals possible. It's probably not regulated or tested for purity or regulated for dosage. It's almost certainly not produced in a antiseptic environment.

Also, I hate to sound like a real downer here, but you need to consider the impact your participation in an illegal drug trade has on this country and your fellow citizens. When you buy drugs you are funneling money to criminals and murderers. You are making millionaires out of the most unsavory and dangerous element in society--not just in this country but in Mexico, Columbia, etc. Take a look at the news. See what goes on in the drug production and distribution regions. That's your money at work. Keep that in mind.
