I don't get it? Anybody want to help me understand this. Joke I presume
From context, it looks like the user plans to abuse the drug, and the pharmacist is well aware the user plans to abuse it.
Ohhh the "haha drug addicts are funny" kinda thing. Got it thank you.
I know its memes and not much depth is expected, but I think its slightly more.
As in, Pharmacist is a socially acceptable profession. Xanax is a socially acceptable pharmaceutical. It is socially acceptable for a patient to take this medication. However, this particular person is planning to abuse the drug, while still maintaining social acceptability, and the pharmacist knows this too, and is giving a wink and a nod they are aware of it.
The joke being "we're not dirty drug dealers and users, but really, for this case, we are, and we're getting away with it being socially acceptable."
Ok, but can someone explain what abuse of xanax entails? Is it a 'fun drug' of some sort? Oh wow. "benzodiazepine" Got it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alprazolam#Recreational_use "The physical dependence and withdrawal syndrome of alprazolam also add to its addictive nature."
"A large-scale nationwide U.S. government study conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration concluded that, in the US, benzodiazepines are recreationally the most frequently used pharmaceuticals due to their widespread availability, accounting for 35% of all drug-related visits to hospital emergency and urgent care facilities."
"Misuse of alprazolam and other benzodiazepines has been shown to cause cognitive impairment."
"A 2016 randomized controlled trial stated that "overall, long-term benzodiazepine users may not be in their full cognitive state upon withdrawal".[128] Similarly, a 2017 meta-analysis concluded that "a range of neuropsychological functions are impaired as a result of long-term benzodiazepine use, and that these are likely to persist even following withdrawal".[130]
Super fun to abuse I’ve heard
Get sleepy, get addicted, try to stop, get some of the world’s worst withdrawals
I'm prescribed Xanax, but the lowest dose. It's for my panic attacks, and it is an extremely fast acting, very effective drug that calms you down. I kind of just makes you not care about much and a little drowsy. I can imagine that in large doses, it would make one feel pretty damn good.
Could imagine, but hey, please, don't go there.
It's like taking liquid luck in harry potter but less MDMA/exstacy like
Ohhh good point thank you I didn't realize that. There isn't much context for me on it. I appreciate helping. Thank you.
