Drug Dealer...

Working at the pharmacy has really made me depressed.

Birth Control
Ambien
Wellbutrin
Percocet/Vicodin
Viagra
Lunesta
Adderal/Ritalin
Plan B
Valtrex

What is wrong with this society?

People are so drugged up its not even funny, yet they dont care to change their lifestyles. Theyd rather take a pill that would make the symptoms go away, and continue on doing what theyre doing.

What is the difference between a crackhead in the ghetto who is buying an illegal drug from a dealer on a corner, and a rich business man who gets his doctor friend to write him prescriptions for pain killers every month, gets a legitimiate pharmacy to fill the script, and then has his insurance cover most of it as he pays a copay for his fix.

Is the latter somehow better than the former because he went through the system to get a legal high while the other dude is doing something 'illegal'?

This society needs Islam.

It seems like 1 out of every 5 people I help is getting either a depression medication or something that can let them sleep at night. These are not just people in a social low class or something, im talking doctors lawyers and the like. People who come into my line looking like they got it made, can not even get by without taking something to ease their pain.

If they had ALlah swt in their lives there would be no way that they would have these problems.

Then I get young girls who come in to get their birth control, then older girls come in and get valtrex and depression medication. Its almost like i see these girls starting off on one level and then getting into this cycle.

Its making me sick.

May Allah protect us from such a life where we depend on medication to get us through the day...ameen
