Crazy.  I've never worked at a place like that (been working 29 years so far).  There have certainly been stress, but nothing I couldn't manage.  Our hunger for drugs is sad, though.  That includes those magical prescriptions.  I can't say which ones are truly necessary for anyone, since I've no clue what they're going through.  I do know personally there were three times where our medical drugs were being prescribed for me, and all three I fixed through dietary changes, which had even more added benefits.  If I didn't, today I'd be taking Prilosec, weekly shots for allergies, and Wellbutrin.  :-/

As far as recreational stuff I tinkered with a few when I was a teenager, including pot.  But, I stopped when my son was born (22 years ago), and I have no desire to do any anymore.  None of them did anything positive for my life.
