I think one of the stories I am going to start working on is going to have a unique idea as a part of it.
SOMEONE COMES UP WITH AN HERB WHICH COMPLETELY makes people feel extemely good, in a normal fashion, semi euphoric, but not high. It is good for you, and not addicting in the way drugs are. It works more like a vitamin or antideptressant. . It also instantly ends narcotic, alcohal & cocaine addiction. It also immediately ends any and all withdrawels & cravings.
That being said , what would happen. If massive amounts of addicts quit, what kind of effect would it have on dealers, cops, judges, the military, etc, etc.
Any ideas, comments, criticizems, etc., would be appreciated.
Let em flow & have fun. & remember, if i use ur idea, & become a millionaire from this book, well, i might share some of my fame, but you have to get ur fortune somewhere else.
Hope everyone is OK.
Hey Browndog,
Interesting idea. I suspect a consortium of drug companies (does Lilly make Prozac?) would put out a hit on the discoverer and napalm the growing fields of your Herb. What would it do for health insurance? Economic collapse in certain countries whose GNP is largely drug-based? The wine and liquor industry?
Can't wait to see everyone's ideas.

hmmm, interesting premise for a fiction novel. I am sure whoever invents such a thing would be locked up with the person who invented the light bulb that never burns out.
but seriously, I think it would have devastating effects on the economy, just think of all the corrections officers that would be out of a job, not to mention lawyers.

I think, like someone said, it would definitely have an effect on the economy. I am thinking the guy (or girl) who comes up with it is not doing it for material gain. SOmeone, like a Dr.or scientist, who lost a loved one to this disease, maybe. It would be something easily growable, readily available, etc.
I think the govt would try to make it illegal.
but it might cause a lot of devastation. Just think, if large numbers of people stopped usingbecause they found a way to live a good life without drugs,and it was "easy & private & cheap."
Drug dealers would loose tons of money. Drug lawyers, rehab clinics, Drs, prisons, etc, would be out of business. The alcohal industry would fall apart. Hospitols would loose business. Crime would go down & police would be able to focus on catching criminals instead of sick people. At the same time they would loose a lot of money from not confiscating homes, cars, boats, etc. This guy would definitely have a lot of enemys.

dog i believe the herb you are thinkin of is WEED,you know a couple tokes and everything is beatiful[lol]
Nope, sorry vinny. He said his herb would be non-addictive and I know from sorry experience, that weed is. *Sigh
Cheers,

gina my dearest soccer mom weed has no physical addicting properties,it's all a mental addiction..........DR.VINNY.........PHD.
I would read some of the marijuana posts vinny, some people feel it is physically addicting...personally i use it as a tool for a good nights sleep without disturbing dreams.
Then it must be me!
I must be.... *gasp* an Addict. Dr. Vinny, can you help me!????
I must be.... *gasp* an Addict. Dr. Vinny, can you help me!????
no, seriously Vinny, im not. besides, weed sucks for some people(i hate it) & for a lot its kind of an add-on drug. In one of the groups i go to this guy is having "wd's" from weed, after smoking for all these years. (now that i think of it vinny, u might have something there, cause my question was if u like it so much, whats the big deal- why quit. <i know im gonna get killed on this one>. but really, it would be different. kind of like something that maybe makes you the way u first were with the 1st tab or whatever, only different in that it didn't get you 'unreal' &r into that superman type feeling. ONly when taking it, it makes you feel like a person is supposed to feel, like some people who have been brought up in a good home with a lot of love, etc. - feel. But it would be more, somehow it clears up your thinking to give u a firm grasp on reality, helps you see the things you can do. Who knows, maybe this herb can cure mental illness too. I'm writing the book , so i guess i can make it do what i want- maybe even give us guys an extra couple inches. Then again, if it did that, i don't think it would ever be illegal.
yes gina i believe i can help[lol],first of all for all you pot heads that like to smoke out of a water bong,i know you will be tempted[BUT DO NOT DRINK THE WATER]LMAO.....................vinny.
dog your like me on that one i never really cared for the pot buzz,and i also feel like you do,if you smoke pot and enjoy it and it dosen't cause any kind of problems as far as family,finical,or mental then toke it up[lol]..........vinny.
I wish I could, but I can't use any substance sensibly.
The idea of drinking bong water is ridiculous -- you distill it and then smoke the sludge that's left. (I'm making this up. Don't try this at home.)
I just came back from my first AA meeting and I'm giddy.

gina,i know for a fact that bong water taste like s***,when we were teenagers that was on of the retarted things we would do
vinny, Youth does not excuse all things. I've done a lot of retarded things while stoned... and didn't even have the excuse of being a teenager. I'll bet the pot just made you thirsty. Or to quote Robin Williams on the power of the munchies, "Cat litter. Mmmmm. Crunchy."

Dog -- how about love? Remember the first time you fell in love? Heart beating fast, walking on clouds, head in the sky -- can you bottle that?
Its already been done Nat, its called chocolate, and it comes in all shapes and sizes...lol

talking of stupid things& pot, I knew a guywho ended up in ER after shooting up pot. I dont remember the whole story, he boiled it i think. But how much could u fit in a syringe? This sounds pretty amazing & as stupid as stupid gets, but i do believe the guy was telling me the truth.
I myself (I know u find this hard to believe) have done several exceedingly done things. But since my book will not be about the stupid things that Harold did, I don't feel compelld to bear my sould at this point.
But, please feel free (especially you Vincent) to share with us some of the stupid things that thou hast done.i'd love to chat, but as it is right now i have to figure a way to travel the speed of light & then figure out a way to use that ability to go back in time as i am supposed to be in the office by about sometime between 8 & 9 AM.
So, i only have time to enjoy 1 more cigarette before jumping in the shower.
*By the way, i don't think it will be necessary for this new herb to mess up cigarette enjoyment, though maybe it could offset sove of the negatives of smoking. Sorry, i just enjoy a good smoke.

Natasha, you are right about that one. It sure felt good & cured all until it wore off.
Browndog,
Your herb would be non-fattening, though, wouldn't it?
