Answer by Jan Stolz
Nope. never even had the urge to try them. Why give some muillionare drug dealer my hard earned money for something that will only hurt me in the end? it never made sense.

I have smoked a lot of pot. Escapism is the reason. I was in a bad spot so I escaped the situation by getting high and watching a movie. I am successful, intelligent and happy. It didn’t lead to other things (except eating and laughing) and helped me through a bad time. Pot is not as bad as alcohol in my opinion.
What Does “After 2 Days” the Doctor Told Me, Mean?
Question by What’s on my mind…: What does “after 2 days” the doctor told me, mean?
I have to take 3 pills, let’s say take one today, he told me I should take the next one “after 2 days” and the next one, a week from then.

Wait 24 hours before taking the next pill to avoid overdose and drug abuse. For example, you take one pill on Monday at 3pm, you can then take the next on Wednesday at 3pm, or later, but not too much longer, or the medicine will lose effect.
