i see so many posts every day on here like "i'm experiencing [severe medical crisis], this should go away if i stop using and drink lots of green tea, right??" and most of the responses are just people going "omg you're an addict, ewww!!!"

you all seem to forget that there are many reasons your body can feel bad! some of them may even be why you started doing k to begin with! i have known so many people who have self-medicated with k and other drugs for undiagnosed chronic pain, injuries and illness and then blamed the drugs for the symptoms they were taking them to suppress.

like, even if your symptoms are directly caused by your drug use, people who break their ankles skiing don't say "well it's my fault for taking risks, so i should heal up fine on my own if i don't ski anymore!" because that's fucking insane. please don't fall into the trap of thinking drugs function in some completely different way than everything else.

if you find yourself thinking "gee, i would go to the doctor for this horrible pain but i know i brought it on myself doing drugs", snap out of it and GO TO THE DOCTOR.
