Meffff and His Daily Vitamins

Doctor Goose offers Meffff some advice that should be impossible to misinterpret: “Meffff, you need to take care of yourself.”

Meffff beams and proudly explains that he takes his methamphetamines daily.

“Those are not vitamins.”

Meffff remains unconvinced. “Still sounds medical.”

Goose briefly considers changing professions.

Behind the Disaster

Calling a substance a supplement, treatment or self-care routine does not make it safe. Minimising the risks of drug use is a common way of avoiding uncomfortable truths, especially when use has become habitual.

Recognising the difference between genuinely helpful routines and harmful ones is an important part of seeking support and making change.
