Its easier said than done... starting a home business especially with no marketable skills, your talking to a 23 year old who has held 2 jobs both in garages and has know business knowledge, believe me ive tried, im not here to convience you of my disability.
Nobody said it would be easy. If your income is none exsistance I really dont see how youre not eligible for a student loan. I think college would be a very wise decision for you. Theres several programs that work with people suffering from disabilities (both physical and mental.) They'll have a sit down session with you, figure out what you can/can't do, and then find you a job. Heck, they will even pick you up and take you to and from work. Contact your local Social Sercuity Office and they can probably help you out. If not, pm me and I will help you out. Theres always something out there if you make a serious effort to look...
I will continue fighting for what I feel i deserve, if i paid into the system when i was working it should help support me when im unable to work.
If you absolutely can't work, then yes, I think you should recieve disability. Though I do think one of the above programs can find you something your physically/mentally able to do...
As for the pill issue, i take pills socially, i know several people who do also for much longer periods than I have. They arent in jail.
Hmm, so you basically collect these pills so you can get a buzz off them and so you can sell? That's the type of behavior that makes me really question rather or not you should get disability. I'm a FIRM believer that if you get any type of goverment aid you should be subjected to random drug test. Fail a test, get kicked off the program. If you want to become a drug addict, do so on your own money.
There is a huge social stigma when it comes to doing any mild altering substance which is why the hundreds of thousands of people who do smoke pot weekly, pop pills on occasion, take amphetameans, or exstacy, shrooms or acid whatever drug you wanna pick on do it in private.
If somebody wants to get high in the privacy of their own homes, off the money they EARNED, then more power to them. The problem is, you see, is most of the drug addicts I know are all thieves. This is where it effects the rest of society. I live in the meth capital of the world, I have close family members who are addicts (most of whom started out with pot and pills.) I've seen the results of a meth lab gone wrong. You preaching to the wrong guy about how drugs should be socially excepted.
To the person on the last page the pills deal is pretty much a moral issue. Honestly i truely believe people should be allowed to grow their own pot, their own poppies and make opiates if they want or ingest whatever they choose, and its no ones business to save someone from their self. If we were to do that we would need to outlaw fast food and sugary foods as well. Outlaw smokes and alcohol, because alcohol withdrawl is far more deadly and hard to manage than opiate with drawl. Yes ive spoken with EMTs on the subject, infact we had a big discussion on another board im on relating to the War on drugs, why its ment to fail and imprison good people.
The same goes for smokers. I don't want to sit next to one while eating dinner. If they want to smoke in the resturant, than go sit with the other smokers. Smoking outside or in their own homes, cars, ect doesnt bother me. I'd just rather not deal with it while trying to eat, or in small enclosed areas. Most smokers arent affraid to toss their cigg. butts out the window, or onto the sidewalk, ect... That does pee me off a little.
Same thing with alcohol, I dont mind if somebody wants to get blastard in their own homes, in a bar, ect. I do have a problem with drunk drivers and drunks who like to get loud/annoying in public places.
The people you knew who ended up in jail knew the risks, and if it wasnt for a big nanny government telling them what was right for them, they would still have jobs and be living their lives, they would either keep taking pills every now and then or they would get addicted and either die or choose to quit. Which is there choice and no one has the right to take that from them.
They knew the risk, but once youre hooked your hooked. And most people who experiment with drugs have the same attitude as you "oh, it's not going to be a problem." I venture to say that most addicts didnt plan to become one.
As for the lady getting her own script, doctors cant feel your pain so they have to judge who needs the pills and who is just looking for a high so they can err either way giving it to someone who doesnt need it or not giving them to someone who does.
Oh, you mean like yourself? Obviously you dont need the pain killers if youre selling them off. Most doctors are quick to prescribe pain killers... Obviously!
I dont feel pitty for people who scam disability either, if your healthy enough to work then so be it, but if your not and you paid into the system the system should take care of you until your are healthy enough to work again.
You're basically scamming the goverment and tax payers by selling off the meds. Somebody has to pay for them, and why? So you can sell them to protential junkies just to make a quick buck? Hate to say it dude, but thats just as bad, if not worse.
Edit: BTW if you could help me find a way to make money from home I would be extremely greatful, all i can really do is sit on the PC most of the time if im not laying down or sick from the amount of antihistamines or whatever other drugs i have to take to keep shit bareable for myself. No im not against working but for me to be able to get gainful sustainable employment outside of my house would be impossible at this point.
Maybe you should get off the pills, or atleast take them as prescribed? Like I said, check the with the SS office and they should be able to hook you up. If not, pm me and I will help you.
Since you got into the business of YOU the tax payer, i would like to state i also paid taxes, i paid taxes for all the healthy people who dont want to work ect..
Like you said, you've only had two jobs... and I'm pretty sure I remember you saying you didnt keep either one for very long. It doesnt even really matter, if you need it, you need it. I just think you should go about things the right way and stop selling your pain killers. If you can live without them (which you obviously can if youre selling them), then stop filling the prescription and save the taxes payers some money....
from my point of view if I were healthy paying taxes and someone sick came up to me and asked do you mind that i sell pain pills i get for nearly free to make some what of an income so i can support my continued treatment and help my single parent out who has gotten into debt helping me get treatment, what kind of a person would I be to say no, i dont care how sick you are get a job....
I'd tell them to stop getting the meds if they didnt need them, which they wouldnt if they are selling them. If they were bad enough to where they couldnt honestly work I would take them to appy for disability so they could get the ball rolling in the right direction. I would then take them to a homeless shelther or a church that would be willing to put them up for a while. At the end of the day I would feel like I actually helped the person, not just pat them on the back and say "sure, go become a drug dealer and set yourself up for a life of failures."
I could never do that and sleep at night but i guess thats where value systems differ, i value people, their health, their freedom to choose. I also know you have no way of knowing what ive been going through so i dont blame you for feeling the way you do about me and my situation but that as far as it goes. Anybody who actually knows me knows how I am with homeless people. I bet I've gave more rides/money to homeless people in the last year that you have your whole life. Theres one thing helping somebody out, its another to tell them its ok to become a drug dealer.
How do you know what I've been though? You dont! You posted for advice, I gave you mine. If you dont like it, ignore my post and continue being a drug dealer.
But when you end up in prision (and most dealers do) don't complain that nobody tried to help...
And also in regards to people in prison for drug abuse whom many of which could be contributing members of society if it wasnt for moronic laws. You are paying taxes to keep them in prison and i think it roughly comes out to 50k a year is the average cost of keeping someone in prison, just a little thing to think about
Oh yeah, maybe we should just close down all the prisons? Or maybe execute 9 out of 10 people who found guilty in drug related cases. Of course the 10th guy would have watch (maybe even pull the trigger), but we'd just let him go with a warning (next time thats you!)
