The Intensity Alphabet Game

Unusual that I'm the only one here........................NOT

[Litigious]

Gross!  What mustard does have sugar in it?

Very likely Swedish. And I think some American mustards too, in fact.

[ozymandias]

Waking up slowly I am, waiting for the ritalin to kick in!

[Litigious]

X-tremely good that Ritalin is on ordinary prescriptions in the US, unlike here.

[ozymandias]

Yes, it is a prescription med, but, a schedule 1 prescription med.  Meaning I have to get a new prescription every month, as that is the law for potentially abused drugs like morphine, etal.

[Litigious]

Zet we have here too, for drugs like morphine, codeine, valium, etc.

[Callaway]

All narcotics like Morphine, I could understand getting a new prescription each month for them, but why drugs like Ritalin and Concerta?

[Litigious]

Because the almighty Swedish Bureau of Social Welfare has decided that central stimulants are dangerous narcotics. Idiots! 

[Callaway]

Concerta and other medications like that need a new prescription each month here as well.  I used to have go to my daughter's pediatrician's office every month and he would leave a new prescription with the receptionist for her, but she does not take Concerta anymore.

[Litigious]

Doesn't be enough for prescribing Concerta in Sweden. You need a special license from said Bureau of Social Welfare; an "ordinary" prescription is not enough, but the doctor or hospital has to have a license beside their right to prescribe(!!!) Exception is, absurdly enough, if someone is below the age of 18. Then an "ordinary" prescription will do, because someone under18 years old of age is less likely to become addicted, according to our wise authorities. Sounds like a Kafka novel, doesn't it? Alas, it's reality.

Emigrate and get away from that oppressive Big Brother regime, but your options are limited to countries that allow pedophilia with 15 year olds.

[Litigious]

Fine, will you get me a Green Card to the US? 

[Litigious]

Got to get used to fuck only 18 year olds. 

[DirtDawg]

How is typing under the influence going for you today?

If you don't have a job or relatives here, you can try the immigrant diversity lottery to get a green card:
