Your friend isn't wrong. It's pretty much a direct blood vessel highway to the brain.
Hows that more direct than an injection?
Better that pills in every way, except convenience.
Injection is still better.

It might be both. An over-correction made more likely in part due to religious beliefs.
Go to Europe and you don’t get pain medication unless you’re in the hospital. Is that due to religiousness too?
Where on Earth did you get this idea?
TLDR; participants with cocaine history were administered caffeine IV. At high doses (300mg) they reported some mild euphoria, and a strange taste and/or smell. Ask HN: aside from caffeine, what is the drug of choice around here?

Meh I think I’m done with THC. You’ll always find plenty of enthusiasm and love everywhere for it, but then I never really met or talked to a single person who didn’t eventually became conflicted about it and concluded the negatives far outweigh whatever you get out of it. Thankfully it’s doesn’t cause any serious harm to you as far as drugs go. I wonder though, about a 100 years ago, when weed was criminalised, it w…
Nice to meet you. I've actually concluded(through experience) that heavy cannabis use has mainly downsides with no upsides, but that sporadic use only has upsides.

It was extremely scary to go through.

American healthcare is a mess because of religious shit like this.
It's not religious - it's an overcorrection based on rampant over prescription of pain killers for years.
And yet benzodiazepines are taken by vast amounts of people as if it was water.

You've missed the point. The GP is saying that consuming data at random does not contribute towards the things they personally prioritize in life.
And yet they still took the time to write out a comment explaining their conclusion. Maybe they are not quite there yet on their priorities!
