> > that aren't prescribed to you. It's illegal to give your prescription drugs to someone else, even if that person has a prescription for it. Are those things evil too? Or is self-medication okay, as long as it's with medicine sold at the pharmacy?-----
You didn't answer my question, so maybe you missed it. I didn't ask you whether you believed illegal drugs or their users are evil. I asked you about the double standard. If illegal drugs are bad, then taking prescription drugs for which you have no prescription is equally bad.Self-medication is self-medication. And if you think my smoking pot will influence others and cause them to do the same (and I disagree; you haven't been influenced to do so), then someone else taking a friend's Neurontin without a prescription is likely to have the same effect.
