> ^^^^^^^^
> You have no idea of who I am, anymore than I of you, and you have no idea of my "formal education(al)" background. All I know is that self-serving arrogance to make a claim, my dear, doesn't become you or anyone, nor does it add any credibility to justify the use of highly addictive drugs in unconventional, non-standard ways.

> What "facts"? Your "facts" ... applicable to your "poltical agenda"? Let's face it, Lizzy, you use opiates to get "high" because it feels so good to alter your consciousness, doesn't it? So stop the promotional histrionics, my dear, and face the demons in the mirror.

However, I will draw the line if you should ever claim (in the future) that sniffing gas fumes will lift the pain of depressive states. Someone may actually believe you (this time around).
