  • The chemist who made this drug is a fucking genius.

  • 9gag bought me here?

  • That is deff not a bottle of valium

  • So you're telling me I can take this drug for my seizures and have all those side-effects instead of smoking weed and have no side-effects besides the munchies? ... Seems legit.

  • @TheIcebomber Weed causes anxiety and increases the likelihood of psychosis occuring in some people by up to 40%.

    Including myself. Quite ironically, I actually take 10mg diazepam due to weed!

  • Well if that wasn't just a bunch of pharmaceutical drivel. Tell us what happens if you stop taking it after years, sweetheart? I'll tell you. You become a scared little rat for months & months. But you folks gobble them up! Make those sales reps at the pharma companies happy & rich!
