Maybe if you've only got a passing familiarity with the anatomy....

Everything is politics everywhere

Smoking what? Tobacco? Or based on your user name, weed? And if weed, by what method? I'll assume joints.

In terms of greatest harm I'd guess

Tobacco x2 week > Sugar chewing gum> Joints x2 week > non sugar chewing gum.

I'd be more sympathetic if the lies weren't coming from the most obvious con-man in history.

This is the way

I'm a prescriber in the US and the name that people will commonly use varies by drug and by region. It's also influenced by whether that medication is even available generically due to patents (if that's the right legal word) on medications being decently long when they first come out.

I agree it's a mess

For allergies? Most people should start with a second generation antihistamine like Allegra or Claritin, they shouldn't cause the same sedation like Benadryl does.

If you're using benadryl for sleep, atarax can be a bit better, but if it is just sleep, I'd stop using any of them. It can be habit forming, fuck up your sleep hygiene, and long term use of anticholinergic medication may increase your risk of dementia in the long run.

This is incredibly generic advice and you should talk to your doctor about any concerns you have.

Ironically I know I just used a bunch of brand names but that's what I refer to them as off the top of my head ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Absolutely. Especially those who believe in miracles.

Not unless those things are owned by foreign companies, which I doubt those are

I'm in a line of work where I see death very very often.

I don't know what I've learned from it. Besides that it's coming. I also know there are things worse than death. Often, in the end, people/families can't accept it, and they end up uselessly suffering.
