I take 4 small pills every night . They work in managing the disease , but they make me sleepy , sometimes queasy , and much more susceptible to colds and the like . I get pretty sick about 3 x per year on average and I attribute that to my weakened immune system . I don ' t smoke because it ' s still illegal here in Texas and because the pills work for me . If nothing else worked , I ' d turn to mj even if it were still illegal . <| sep |> I keep hearing about these advantages , what are they ? I mean sure , it ' s less likely that I ' ll be singled out for the color of my skin socially , but as far as jobs and schooling goes there ' s no real advantage that comes with having white skin . I ' ll give you that minorities get pulled over for asinine reasons more often , and the likelihood of them acting stupid and shooting minorities is much higher . But that ' s not an advantage for white people so much as it is a symptom of a shitty police system that needs massive reform .
