The odds are you'll almost always have "constant access" to pills, and it won't matter, although in a few generations nobody will have immune systems or pain thresholds and they might just come to miss them. So go ahead: neck them and get on with it.
I don't like going on about the demise of society because I generally think that it's a load of idealised bollocks, but for me one of the biggest problems with people today is how soft we all are. We grow up without ever encountering any kind of hardship and we chemically remove any slight pain or discomfort, go to therapy for any emotional tremor, health-and-safety away the slightest potential risk or worry.
I'm not saying passing on the painkillers makes me John Rambo, but after a while you become dependent on your chemical crutches, and if you can't get through a common cold or a bout of insomnia without reaching for the drugs, what do you reach for when a serious obstacle comes up?

This. I suddenly feel astonishingly normal.

I consider medication a last resort for children, the elderly and people unable to overcome their ailments without them. Twisted ankles heal, headaches subside, common colds are fought off. You don't need meds to fix these pathetic little problems. The more you use them, the more reliant you become on them, and I don't necessarily mean addiction but simply an inability to cope or fight off anything without popping pills. |
This also.
I know people who take spare antibiotics they have lying around the house whenever they get a cold. It's idiots like them who contibute to the rise of things like Golden Staph. It's funny, I'm happy to pour all kinds of shit into my body at clubs, but I'm staunchly anti-drugs at home. When I got my tonsils and wisdom teeth out I basically did it drug-free when I had prescriptions for all kinds of shit. The nurses kept freaking out and trying to get me to take painkillers.
