Would you take a happy pill?

[Kayn]

Hypothetical Situation

Lets say the entire american population is given some kind of happy pill. I dont know how it would work, but lets just say its a 24hr controlled release opiate with none of the downsides.

The question is, would you take this pill and be fake happy all the time, or try and live life without it?

 

[Bad_CRC]

If the entire population was given the pill, I doubt you'd have a choice.

 

[JodoFett]

Did you just read Brave New World or something?

The entire population is given the pill, but no one is at your house forcing you to take it every morning.

is this a essay question for some bullshit medical class you are taking?

 

[Amadeus]

As long as it doesn't hinder my ability to think clearly, sure.

 

[DMAUL]

Did you just read Brave New World or something?

That's what I was thinking. Tasty tasty Soma.

 

[JodoFett]

Do these pills make women "loose"?

 

[BadMoFo]

are they suppositories?

 

[LostDuck]

and if not can we use them as suppositories anyway?

 

[orbital 123]

No, I'd rather be unhappy and drug free.

 

[Kayn]

No this isnt some bullshit essay or medical question. Im just curious to see what real people would do. Also, its a oral pill.

As long as it doesn't hinder my ability to think clearly, sure.

Holy shit you're dumb.

 

[JodoFett]

If it's not a suppository it's no fun.

 

[Daedalus]

No this isnt some bullshit essay or medical question. Im just curious to see what real people would do. Also, its a oral pill.

Pft, how can anyone be happy with an oral pill. This question is flawed.

 

[PropIsDead]

Sure. As long as the happiness felt like real happiness and it was sustained.

 

[TechnoDonut]

No.

 

[Kurayami]

No.
I'm not weak.
