So, assuming that this is not facetious,
you are suggesting candles containing a
volatile antidepressant? If so, this is a
stupid idea. |
|
| |
Apart from the fact that most
antidepressants are unlikely to be
volatile, and apart from the fact that
doses need to be fairly carefully
controlled in a way which is unlikely to
be achieved by a candle, there is also
the fact that you really don't want your
family, friends and guests to be casually
taking antidepressants for no good
reason. Oh, and most antidepressants
take a few days or weeks to start
working, by which time the party will
probably be over. |
|
| |
Of course, if this was just meant as a
facetious piece of fun about depression
then, by golly, that's fine. |
|
| |
You guys need to lay back and light one up. |
|
| |
I tried that. It kept burning holes in the
backside of my jeans. |

[BB], I'll bone your anno so hard! |

I should think anyone going through PMS, menopause, and puberty simultaneously deserves more than just an antidepressant candle. Heck, give 'em an entire candelabra-full. And I'd add another fragrance - "If You Know What's Good For You, You'll Shut Up And Leave Me Alone!" |

Julian sat back and looked deeply into his dates eyes across the candlelit table.
Her pupils slightly dialated, she smiled softly as the entree came, served by a formally dressed waiter, careful to keep his face away from the fumes of the gently smoking candle as he placed the sumptious platter upon the tastefully laid out table. |
|
| |
Julian realises that the drugged lighting is having an effect upon him too, and drools slightly as he picks up his knife and fork. |
|

I get the impression that antidepressants don't make you happy, but instead just make you more numb to your depression. Rather than Mood-enhancers they're simply anti-depressants. I'm not sure your antidepressant candle would have much effect on a nice happy family, even if the time it took to take effect was significantly reduced. |
|
| |
I like Viagra candles though! |
|
| |
So back when hippies were baking brownies, I don't ever recall hearing about marijuana candles-did they exist? |
|

//I get the impression that antidepressants don't make you happy, but instead just make you more numb to your depression.// |
|
| |
//There's a difference?// Yep - and if you didn't spend your days laying back, lighting ones up, you'd have known that already. |
|
| |
//There's a difference?// Yes. The
most effective way to become numb to
one's depression is suicide. This is
widely used, is cheaper than
antidepressants, and has fewer side-
effects in the long term. |
|
| |
Antidepressants were devised as an
alternative to suicide, because
they relieve depression in many
instances. Hence the juxtaposition of
"anti" and "depressant" in the word
"antidepressant"; it's sort of a medical
code, you see. |
|
| |
//Sorry, I think this is a totally thoughtless
idea.// You can say that I again. In fact I'll
say it for you: I think this is a totally
thoughtless idea. |
