You know, I had a really good friend of mine, you know who he was addicted to?
Prescription pain pills, prescription pain pills.
He went to the doctor, and the doctor doesn't care about you, he cares about money.
And he went to the doctor and he told the doctor, he said, "I am becoming addicted
to these pain pills.
You need to change something here," because he had a back injury on the job, doing concrete
work.
He said, "You need to change my pain pills because I am addicted to these pain pills."
And the doctor said, "That's silly.
Those aren't habit forming.
Don't worry about it.
Keep taking them."
He was just taking them and taking them and taking them.
He got to where he started even buying extra ones from other people.
And then he got to where he started selling them, buying and selling.
And then he got to the point where one day he OD'd on them and actually the ambulance
had to come and take them away because he was bleeding and all kinds of horrible things.
Why?
Did he want to become addicted like that?
No.
He told the doctor.
He said, "Will you please change my prescription?"
But what happened?
He became addicted to drugs, became addicted to the pain pills, and it brought him down
a downward spiral to where it almost destroyed his life, and he was able to kick that, but
it wasn't easy.
You see, the pharmaceutical companies—I have no problem saying this—the pharmaceutical
companies in the United States are nothing more than legalized dope dealers.
I have no more respect for the pharmaceutical companies in America than the dope dealer that's
on the street corner.
In fact, I have more respect for the dope dealer that's on the street corner, because at least
he's telling you the truth.
He's telling you, "I'm a dope dealer.
I'm a drug dealer."
At least I wish that the pharmaceutical company, at least if the CEO of the pharmaceutical company
would drive with those rims, if he would drive like a gold SUV with the rims that keep spinning
and dress like a pimp and wear gold chains and stuff, at least then we'd know what you
really are, because that is what you are.
You're a drug dealer.
You're jamming Ritalin down these kids' throats.
You're jamming psychotropic drugs like Ritalin down the throats of these little kids and
three-year-old, four-year-old, five-year-old, six-year-old kids, because they act up in
school, because they think for themselves, because they have a brain, because they don't
want you to control them all day.
They'd love to put me on dope right now.
You think they like what I'm saying right now?
They'd want to put me on Ritalin.
They think I have ADHD.
I'm going to tell you something.
The dope dealer pharmaceutical companies will destroy your life in this country.
Don't bow down and worship the doctor.
He's not a god man.
You ought to think about some of these drugs that they're jamming down your throat.
