today.reuters.com — ll self-respecting painkillers these days offer "fast-acting relief," a promise we accept to mean anywhere from 15 minutes to more than an hour. For Alexza Pharmaceuticals Inc., which is developing drugs for migraine, pain, panic and agitation, "fast" has to mean "within seconds."

When I was a kid, I refused to swallow pills out of the fear that they would be caught in my throat. This would've been handy then! (I love being a bad influence)

Kinged - I bet you are the same ignorant type of person who thinks weed is the devil's drug while alcohol and tobacco are A-OK because someone, somewhere said "hmm... okay it's legal". Are you even aware that "narcotics" is not a category of drug? It's a list of substances. If they were to make a list based on side effects or chemical composition, almost everything would be illigal. Here's a fact for you - cigarettes are addictive, weed is not. Other than "because it always has been", why is the more dangerous drug the legal one? Also, alcohol related crimes and deaths are excrutiatingly high - weed crimes are almost 100% victimless. Either someone was growing it (gardening), smoking it (recreation), or selling it to a few friends (supply and demand). If the drug were to be legal, drug lords would be out of a job - no one sells legal substances on the street. It's not profitable. The people who want the drug to stay illigal are the same drug lords you say are a plague on society. Yet you want them to stay in business. A vote against weed is a vote for drug lords. There is NO way around this. You are either supporting the problem or helping it. Making it illigal is NOT helping.

Kratom isn't a bad smoke, either. Does wonders for pain.

But people prefer to inject heroin than smoke it. And I think I've read injecting cocaine has a bigger effect than smoking crack. Also, if it is injected it goes directly into the blood stream, if its smoked then it has to go through the lungs.
