I had the awesome experience of proving a doctor wrong a few days ago. My mom flipped stuff and decided she thinks I do drugs and brought me to a doctor to get drug tested. The doctor was asking me in private about drug use and I said that I don't do anything (he doesn't need to know) and he said he was glad I stayed away from drugs like Ecstasy because it puts holes in your brain. I smiled so wide. I know I did. I know he knew he forgeted up. When people say stuff like that, the game is ON.
I brought up my first point. Olney's lesions have NEVER been seen in humans. Ever. Even with neurotoxins, holes NEVER appear in human brains. With MASSIVE overdoses of PCP, some rats show olney's lesions but never humans.
He said animal studies are usually accurate and just because they haven't found them doesn't mean they exist. I brought up my second point.
The animal study that found holes in rats' brains with MDMA use was flawed. The bottle was actually mislabled as MDMA, it was really PCP. MDMA is not known or suspected to be a neurotoxin.
He didn't know what to say. He said, exactly, "Still, drugs are bad and you shouldn't take them."
I had to smash this in. I was power drunk. I knew more than a doctor about his own field. "It makes me sad that someone we're supposed to be able to trust with our health is spreading such incorrect information to the very people he's trying to protect."
I feel like an starfish, but I also feel like that was an awesome finishing blow. He drug tested me, I passed, and I left with a smirk on my face.
