I'm not out to start a crusade, but I have the right to my experience-based opinions [[especially in a thread that invites comments from both sides-versus the ones that are more one-sided fan threads of a topic that don't deserve troll-like hate intrusion).
I just feel when something is so often hyped [[those commercials for the product have just as much circulation as EHarmony but not as much as commercials for cars, humorous insurance companies-because insurance is so "hilarious", right?- and pills with tons of side effects.), it deserves to be taken down a notch or two. Especially, when folks need to know some background truth. It's not easy to defend an unpopular opinion, but I'm often inclined to go against the grain when the popular opinion is so half-arsed and unnaturallly inclined.
Fact is: folks like speed. It makes them feel invulnerable. Others use it for sexual performance enhancement [[a side of culture that Breaking Bad drastically avoided, as it would insult those of a certain lifestyle). I feel sorry for any young woman who has recently tried coke for the first time. I have never met a girl who has tried coke and doesn't go ga-ga over it. Most of Hollywood [[and the entire porn industry) is based on this pervasive, quiet American staple. Every crackhead tried coke prior to the crack [[noone smokes pot for the first time and says, "Gee, that was cool, but you know what would be better? A big rock of Crack-cocaine to freebase."); I sadly have heard the same stories and seen the damage with the folks I've met on the streets.
We are told so many lies about health and nutrition: Inhalers fight asthma. Yeah, I was told that one for years until the cortisons in them rotted my adrenal glands and turned them into mini-3 Mile Islands. Then I learned deep-breathing exercises and got on a hypoglycemic diet [[small meals every three to four hours not this huge three meal a deal American lie) and haven't had an asthma attack in 11 years and 6 years prior to that.
Also, folks are told they can turn back the clock in aging. That's a lie. You can slow it down though [[people refuse to believe I'm the age I state I am)! Yet, it means the deep-breathing, the hypoglycemic diet [[which regulates metabolism and actually slims down women to the right weight), occasional vegetarianism, and most of all-removing the stimulants [[sugar, caffeine, ephedrine, sports drinks, etc.). Yet, some folks would rather worry about staying young rather than make the cuts needed. Can't have it both ways....so, many live in a contradictory limbo.
