It's payday and some assholes deserve some long "sessions" on
the toilet.

What food can you recommend to lock the digestive system for
a couple of days? I'd like to give them shit as hard as concrete.

What can you recommend?

If I recall "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me" correctly,
paregoric will do the trick. -aem

Yes, it seems to be, but that may be due partly because paregoric is only
availble by prescription today, while Immodium is OTC. One used to be able
to simply sign for paregoric at a pharmacy. Paregoric soothed an upset
stomach much more quickly than Immodium. It also worked wonders when
swabbed on an aching tooth. Ya can't do that with Immodium. :-)

Very true!

I understand that it was used a lot for teething and colicy babies...
and was one of the most effective medications available.

Here's a solution to the teething problem. Take a small glass and pour
in two fingers of bourbon. Dip your finger in the glass and apply to
the baby's sore gums. Drink the rest of the bourbon.

It is an opiate derivative. It ruined a lot of lives as people got addicted.

During prohibition in the 1930s, people got off of alcohol by using
paragoric.

Then they had an opiate addiction.

You could sign for it at the druggist's until you started signing for it too
often,
then they cut you off.

I investigated the life of a family in which not only the son but his mother
were
addicts. Very sad.

Thats the reason they don't like to prescribe it but it is still
available. I have a buddy who has occasional issues and it is the only
thing they found that works for him. He doesn't need it often but he
always has a small bottle in his cabinet.

Opium is a blessing and a curse... I've read the history of it and it's
sad and fascinating both.

Wasn't it an opium addiction that Freud used Cocaine to cure?

Creating, of course, a Cocaine addiction?

I read that the man who made Freud and his "cure" famous
died but his death was not much remarked upon.

It's like curing Heroin addiction with Methadone.

Methadone is supposed to be even _more_ addicting from what I've read...

This book is pure history and it was seriously well written and
researched:

http://tinyurl.com/y6noce

It saved a lot of lives as it was a quick treatment for dysentery as
well as being a godsend for painkilling...

but I plan to stick with Ibuprofen. ;-)

This book even relates our own CIA's smuggling of Heroin into New York
for "political reasons". :-(

Bayer invented morphine (Soldier's Joy) as a cure for opium addiction...
Then they created heroin as a cure for morphine addiction...

Methadone detox is as close to hell as life can get...

But alcohol withdrawal is still way more dangerous, strangely enough.

The book I cited is a Sixties counter-culture classic, in which a
character smokes joints that have been soaked in paregoric. After some
number of days this stops him up for some further number of days.
Eventually, a gargantuan product is forced into a toilet bowl but it's
far too large to be flushed and becomes an object of stoned wonderment,
floating majestically around. Or so the literary scene in my memory
goes -- haven't seen the book for decades, but the scene popped into my
mind when I say the OP troll. -aem

Paregoric was always in our medicine cabinet when I was growing up and was
also in mine as an adult. It was never abused, used only very occasionally
for serious upset stomach or toothache. For upset stomach, we took 1
teaspoon stirred into a small glass of tepid water.

Best high I ever experienced, hands-down. Smoked it in the winter
months in the late 70's. It was cheap but hard to get. It tastes very
good - almost like a perfume or something.

You can grow it, just don't get caught harvesting it. ;-)

I've read too much about the horrors of addiction tho' so I'll give it a
pass.....

Best high I ever had was mushrooms, but I only used them long enough to
cope with depression. Haven't touched them for many moons now and have
not felt I wanted to, but I do wish those were legal. They could help a
lot of people according to my research...

The idea with Methadone was that the high were not near as high, and
it would block the highs of Heroin. It suppose to have less severe
withdrawal symptoms.

Never happened. There was one agent who assisted in the one
importation, for his own profit, currenly residing in fed custody.

Just as most medicines were (and are) poisons if taken in sufficient
quantities, opiates are therepeutic in small quantities but deadly in
larger quantities.

Belladonna was a much-used laxative. Yes, the same stuff that
surfaced as a powerful hallucinogen in the 1960s. People with
the mindset "if a little is good then a lot must be even better" got
into trouble with the stuff. People died from "laxative overdose."

Stop laughing. I am sure it was not funny!

Not always. For example cancer partients often take enormous amounts of
opiates yet it isn't deadly to them. Different uses and peoples tolerance.

Belladonna was never a laxative, as the action is to _decrease_ gastric
motility. Hence it would slow down the spasms which would cause the
frequent "events". It is also useful to patients with urethral spasms,
such as post surgical patients. All opiates, and many pain meds have the
unintended side effect of causing constipation because of that decreased
mobility.

This is true, and I appreciate the correction. I was relying upon two pieces
of information, that were not reliable, now that I think about it. According
to
family lore, I have an ancestor who died from a laxative overdose, and one
relative identified the substance as Belladonna.

Then I encountered a pharmacy full of old apothecary jars, all labeled,
and many still with medicines in them. Several were labeled "Belladonna."

Of course it does not follow that it was a laxative. Maybe my ancestor
took it to stop diarrhea. And all the family needed to know was that
it had something to do with the topic of elimination. After all, who would
really want too much detail?


I found some information at the site below.

Not a problem.. that's why I get paid the big bucks to know this kinda
