“…an anesthesiologist who served as his primary care physician” that seems like the problem right there.
This is just awful. RIP Chandler Bing.
I was not a fan of Friends, but I’m much more not a fan of preying on people’s addictions for money until you kill them.
I don’t know. It should be easier to get drugs, and safely. Instead, this is the system we have. I don’t know his situation intimately, but I don’t know how this could have been better if you don’t take off the table that he wanted these drugs.
Having someone else inject you though sounds like a recipe for disaster. Don’t rope people in unnecessarily who could then face legal problems over it.
Some drugs? Sure. Ketamine? I would not go that far. There are certain substances the general public should not have easy access to, general anesthetics being one of them.
If nothing else, ketamine has been used as a date rape drug.
I’m ignorant of a lot of things. But I watched a video of people drinking extracted thc circa probably the 50s given the black and white video. They were asking questions of the test subject throughout. 70 years later it’s finally becoming available. Nothing but lies on lies. I see mdma is being thrown under the bus recently. I’m just saying I’m open to more than what’s been allowed.
And I am too. But not for things that people literally use for date rape because they can pretty quickly cause complete unconsciousness (as that is their purpose).
I have no problem with THC and its derivatives. THC is generally not something rapists use. Same with MDMA. MDMA might make someone extra cuddly, but they’ll still be able to fight back if someone tries to rape them. Because they’re still conscious.
Do you think Rohypnol should be freely available over the counter as well? GHB? Because I’m thinking maybe we don’t create a whole bunch of new Bill Cosbys.
Ketamine is a party drug, it’s not a date rape drug.
You might as well call booze a date rape drug because if you get drunk enough you black out.
Certain drugs, such as Rohypnol, GHB, and Ketamine, are sometimes called “rape drugs” because they can be used to facilitate sexual assault

Since the mid-1990s, the media and researchers have also documented an increased use of drugs such as flunitrazepam and ketamine to facilitate sexual assaults in the context of dating.

Furthermore, this describes what happens to the victim when ketamine is used as a date rape drug: https://www.thehealthsite.com/diseases-conditions/date-rape-drug-ketamine-effects-p114-111164/
You can party with other date rape drugs too. Are you really suggesting general anesthetics should be OTC?

Bad bot. Just don’t comment if you don’t know anything.
Everyone’s got such a huge hate boner for this bot, but I have no idea why.
In this case, by saying it doesn’t have info on the source it clues user into the fact that it’s not a very large or popular source, which is an extra bit of data readers can take with them even if they don’t do any more research beyond that.
If it was my bot, I would probably program it to do that, rather than do nothing in cases like this.
