Greg:
I have to tip my hat to you for your expertise in music, especially on the clarinet. This BBS is truly blessed with your active participation, even if and when it is somewhat stressful as these series of postings seem to be. That's what differentiates friends from acquaintences.
With that said, please take the time to reread my posting and put it into context. I made a concerted effort to understand the need for prescription drugs, no matter what the circumstance or condition (physical or mental). I refuse to judge others' needs, for I am neither a doctor nor a judge. Rather, I was trying to make a very open plea for the minors who peruse this BBS to carefully consider their choices in life, especially when it comes to drugs (of ANY kind, caffiene and alcohol included). If they have a valid need for any drug, even if it's over the counter, they should consult their parents and their doctor first.
Again, please understand my position. Yes, I readily admitted that I am extremely conservative towards any and all drugs. That's fine. You see, I am not only a military veteran who saw illicit drugs as "the enemy", I am also professionally involved with the K-12 education industry in my current position. They too see illicit drugs as "the enemy".
Please send me an EMail if you would like to see point-by-point where we agree and disagree on this subject. You might be surprised at the answer.
Respectfully,
paul
