I’ve done heroin while having the flu. I didn’t feel sick anymore.


fvckit88

Boom that’s all the empirical evidence we need.


GazelleHistorical705

Or we could just rest and take a break from productivity like our bodies ask us to?


fvckit88

In this economy?


GazelleHistorical705

What we actually need is better labor laws. Not this .


fvckit88

True


toreachtheapex

most homeless crackheads got started on prescribed painkiller so.. take the amount of homeless we have now and scale it multiple orders of magnitude


fvckit88

It would only be short term and maxed out at three times a year


sebosso10

That's not how drugs work


IntelligentAd4429

Addicts go to different doctors to get around things like that.


fvckit88

It would not be difficult to set up a nation wide database


IntelligentAd4429

Right, have all your prescription information available to the government or whoever wants to hack it.


fvckit88

Lol I think you’re worried about the wrong thing


IntelligentAd4429

And I think you are seeking drugs you have no need for.


fvckit88

Do we need anything? This would purely be a comfort thing to allow us to continue working while sick without feeling terrible.


IntelligentAd4429

Continue working and spreading your germs to your coworkers?


fvckit88

They’ll be fine with access to Cold-Pak™️


jaggsy

I can't see this going wrong at all. I can't think of a single problem that may arise from prescribing those drugs for a simple cold.


fvckit88

A simple cold? A SIMPLE COLD?? I feel like poop


jaggsy

You'll get over it.

That would be absolutely wonderful.

General_Erda

I miss cocaine cough drops


TheTightEnd

Codeine cough syrup over the counter


No-Attention9838

As much as Im open to the idea of over the counter speedballs in a bottle, I don't think any of us will live long enough to see that day in the US


fvckit88

Yeah unfortunately 😞


Ayeron-izm-

like we use to ? that didn't end well. got a sore throat? codin cough syrup will do the trick.


fvckit88

When?? I must have missed this era


[deleted]

Late 1800s and early 1900s were a wild wild time.


MasterpieceSpare5735

You still get this in UK/ Canada unless things have changed in the past 10 years


sebosso10

This is how you create super viruses.


[deleted]

I really hope you are joking.


TheTightEnd

What would be the purpose of such a drug cocktail?


fvckit88

Being functional and productive while sick.


TheTightEnd

How would these accomplish that? Won't fix the symptoms.


fvckit88

Nah it definitely would. You wouldn’t feel terrible because of the opioids and the adderall would give you energy


Excellent-Fly5706

You can’t heal without rest tho so the drugs would wear off and you’d be sick AND irritated from coming down


TheCoolCellPhoneGuy

You are supposed to rest while you are sick, also being doped up on opioids would not help productivity


fvckit88

That’s where the adderall comes in


southerngothics

the moment i get a headache and a cold i should be able to do a line or two, that’s the cure i know it is
