From GRAHAM PLUCK
In regard to Alison Brooks’s comments concerning the availability of
the drug Prozac, I feel I must express my wholehearted agreement. Why should
people be denied access to a powerful drug just because there is nothing
wrong with them?
And while we are on the subject why not lift the restrictions on Valium,
which gets rid of all those worries and has no side effects, well, not ones
you would worry about. Fair enough, addiction is likely and brain damage
possible. However, if you just keep taking the pills you won’t go through
withdrawal, and the science of brain grafting may be able to help you eventually.
Better still, if happiness is the name of the game why not start taking
heroin? It’s been tried and tested by millions. If supplied by friendly
chemists, then the deaths due to adulterants or accidental overdose would
be minimised. So hey, let’s just ignore those puritanical pundits who are
apparently only objecting because of neophobia.
