Would you participate in drug trials for money?

I sat on a High Court jury once for two weeks for a Class A drugs case. I got paid. Is that the sort of drugs trial you had in mind?

If it were a last ditch try to beat something terminal then yes, otherwise no

Is it Stage One trials or something that aren't allowed to give money for?

Could be - I'm not in on all the details. $800 is a decent wad of dough

But testing new types party pills for your local dealer is probably not what the OP had in mind

I've done it.

Related to my existing Asthma condition butit ended up working out great for me. I got heaps of free preventative meds (which have worked heaps better for than the other crap I was on) and got paid. I am better off for it.

With some of the post's on KB, I think quite a few have already been guinnea pigs for the medical "profession"...

Same as Steam, did one down here when I was a student. About half the money but easy as

Not a chance. The human body is assulted by enough things already. Experimental drugs it does not need.

**RC1** · 19th June 2008, 13:35

drugs are good

paid drugs are BETTER

Hmmm, sounds tough! By cocktail of drugs and shit - do you mean only things that the doctor prescribed or are we talking about mixing in other stuff?

There are quite a few very large books written on what drugs can be combined, what dosages, expected side-effects, etc.
However, that knowledge wouldn't have been gained unless someone were willing to test the stuff out.
