If it can't cure me of the dropsy and the bloody flux, I'm not interested.

Cigarettes seem to cure my headaches, throat irritation, and cough.....

I liked the one where Molly Pitcher is depicted loading a cannon with the ramrod reversed.

I used to get codiene-laced cough medicine all the time when I was a kid. Nowadays it's only available by prescription, and doctors are reluctant to prescribe it.

But it's really the only thing that works...

I think my breath smells terrible, until I have a few cigarettes.

Marijuana IS medicine Link (new window)

That stuff is the bomb!!!!!!

Sure. Why not? It's not like they're regular cancer causing "kill you" cigarettes. They're ASTHMA cigarettes. You smoke them when you are sick in order to get better. It's for your health. It says so right on the package label. Unless you're, you know, under 6. :(

/vote for me cause I'm cool?

A ramrod has two sides. One side is covered in cloth and the other is not. The not-cloth side is used to push the cannonball down the barrel. The cloth side is used to clean the barrel out after firing. You can't actually "reverse" a ramrod because both sides have uses.

Why is medicine in quotes? All the substances listed have significant medicinal value and were used for thousands of years before modern chemistry started extracting, purifying and amplifying the active components to make drugs. Of course they haven't really been able to figure out marijuana because of the large number of canabanoids and its placement as a freaking schedule 1 substance.

odinsposse: You can't actually "reverse" a ramrod because both sides have uses.

Sure you can.

A coin has an "obverse" and a "reverse" side. Both have uses: "heads" is for "I win" and "tails" is for "you lose".

You just need to standardise which end of the ramrod is which.

Vicodin syrup is okay. . .If we are talking syrups. Kinda tastes all synthy, 'though. Codeine, now that takes me back. Not my thing, really, but I knew a dude or two who would fiend on these little brown bottles. Pa had lotsa samples. Wyamine inhaler at the ready if anyone overindulged, as I recall. Whatever happened to 'better living through chemistry?'

CanadianCommie: CraicBaby: Come to Canada. You can get it without a prescription. You just have to ask the pharmacist to get it for you because they keep it behind the counter.

in fact, we have a big bottle of it sitting on the counter right now...


last time i had cough syrup with codeine in it, it took about 15 minutes for me to pass out. That stuff was strong.

We have some cough syrup my lady's parents brough back from India a few months ago...

I'm actually a little scared to try it...

But I know it's going to be a good time...

If you dont think weed is a medicine, Youve been asleep for 2000 years.

Wow, really? Is charlottegreen a for-real automated spammer, or does she post in threads pretending to be one?

I get bad headaches with codeine and some of the other opioids. While they helped the pain of my surgery, they gave me a migrane that wouldn't quit within hour or so taking them.

Wife suspects the "asthma" cigs were just dried cocoa leaf cigs.

/If you find a bottle of old narcotics, the narcotics are still good, opioids don't degrade.

I like how Laudanum admits it is a poison, and then goes ahead and gives the dose for three month old children.

/Has a seat
//Over there.

No, you're not. I have a poster of that ad hanging on my kitchen wall. Always elicits comments from visitors.

Quaaludes. JFC, that brings back some weird memories. For some reason, those pills made you so horny that....well lets just say 'ludes were the precursor of beer goggles and Viagra. I can remember standing in line at a Burger King, so effed up my brother had to hold me up by my belt, while I'm trying to talk the girl behind the counter into coming back to my place. Took me years to live that one down. Very weird drug.

Yeah this is weird; modern pharmaceutical companies would never market drugs they knew to be dangerous or over-prescribed.

My mom takes adderall for the same reason as the woman in the ad.

/yes, that's farked up.

Damn, I wish I lived during those golden eras.

Christ, we can't even get real antihistamines anymore. This is why we can't have nice things.

That's the ingredient in an absinthe cocktail that really whacked it out, not just wormwood.

No I noticed it too, but it seemed normal for a nursing aged child.

Unless that cannon is sucking cannonballs out of the hideous wounds of injured men, healing them completely as the balls travel back to the mouth of the gun, I am not sure that image fits with the name of the product.

Those asthma "cigarettes" aren't too surprising. Pot can work wonders for an asthma. It helps almost instantly too.

At first I was like....

Nah, that's pretty common for 2 and under. Hold a kid on your hip, they're kinda 'within reach'. The kids are really unconscious about it. It's like playing with a nose or a collarbone.
