Is xanax popular among drug abusers? It's supposed to be medicine ...

[–] Laser@feddit.org 16 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

So are amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDMA, LSD, DXM, heroin,...

See a pattern?

Edit: in case people are wondering, I'm not saying "OMG big pharma is a drug dealer" but rather that a lot of substances have been researched in a pharmaceutical context, and often these were found to have effects beyond their main one. And sometimes, people just self-medicate.

I did ask whether xanax is something that people often take recreationally. Based on the responses that doesn't seem to be the case. So what IS the pattern?

And I really just want to know what the meme is going on about. "don't take drugs recreationally or for selfmedication" is a very different discussion from "don't take the drugs that were prescribed to you for your diagnosed illness by a doctor".

Well, people do take Xanax recreationally. If you want to get an impression, read /r/xanax

No but its popular among over stressed and depressed people. (Same for self harm)

So ... is this meme saying that Hello Kitty is against taking your prescribed medicine?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There used to be memes going about showing hello kitty characters doing drugs, s//h'ing, etc. in dingy rooms. I think it was an outlet from people who were suffering

Thanks. What's "s//h’ing"?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

!self harming!<

Thanks for the answer. Are those supposed to be spoiler tags? "SELF HARM" is already in the post itself ...
