I'm talking about synthetic drugs in general.
I usually dont take anything for long periods. Although I do know certain plant substances have been used by thousands of years by herbalists, shamans etc. With the right dosages of course. I believe moderation is the key.
I am totally aware that certain herbs act like drugs and can be dangerous with long term use or incorrect dosages.
Not that I'm totally against synthetic drugs either. A long as it has a long history of use (lets say about 20years+) without extreme side effects I might consider it. Keep in mind I also dont believe herbs is a cure all for everything. Sometimes one has to resort to synthetic drugs.
