Still smells like self medication and not what the doctor prescribed.
I skip days if there is nothing to do that day to lower the tolerance. I think that is a good thing.
It is not legal meth. The chemicals are different and taken as prescribed is nothing at all like actually doing meth. You can call it that though it doesn't bother me. 
I am doing homework now. I am actually a really good student.

Lower tolerance so it is more effective for my ADD long term. I don't skip days that often though not that I have a full course load.

Beat me to it.
What's the point of lowering the tolerance just to take it again if it doesn't get you high?

Answer this flat out with a yes or no, no beating around the bush, it either is or isn't.
Am I straight edge given I don't drink to get drunk, I take my medicine as prescribed 100% of the time and take the benadryl just to help knock me out (benzos keep me asleep, don't do a lot to put me there). I do no other drugs at all.
Am I straight edge? Yes or no. Attempting to beat around the bush or add addendum will constitute you being unwilling to flat out admit I am straight edge and somehow trying to separate yourself from me.
Yes or no?

Never buy into that shit. I have my radiographer's card which means I'm free to "play" with extremely strong radioactive sources. I know very little about it. Mostly people learn that shit as a job because there's a tech who overshadows you and teaches you as you go. But basically all I had to do was take a 4 day class. I honestly should not be trusted with this shit like I will be. Simple mistakes can have catastrophic results.

Drinking at all means you are not straight edge.
Taking benadryl to help knock yourself out is not straight edge.
Taking your medicine as prescribed is straight edge. I don't recommmend benzos long term but that is a discussion between you and your doctor.
Also, straight edge is kind of a enhanced state of mind from not doing drugs. It is actually amazing and clear and beautiful.

Your medication is a mind altering substance, doesn't matter if you have a "condition" it's treating, it's a mind altering substance. Same as benadryl or alcohol. How are those two different from you being straight edge while taking your pill? Can you get a reasonable explaination.
Further, benadryl is an OTC med, not prescribed really. Is someone who has allergies and takes it for that also not straight edge? What about the fact that the majority of the otc sleep aids otc are the same ingredient?
Why is my alcohol and benedryl use NOT straight edge? I'm not using it to get high. What's the difference?

You use the benadryl to knock yourself out not for allergies bro.
Most people are on medications but if they need the medication and take it as prescribed they are still straight edge.

So if someone is prescribed opiates or speed, they're straight edge?

You need to rethink this statement and reread my post. The majority of OTC sleep aids are DPH. The same shit in benadryl. It's a very common sleep aid. Can't let yourself get stuck on benadryl being an allergy medicine and use that as evidence that I'm not straight edge. I buy it as benadryl or store brand because it's cheaper that way. Sleeping pills with the same only active ingredient are several times more expensive because most people don't realize they're the exact same drug.
I need the medication, the same way someone with allergies would. Neither would really be prescribed it, it's an OTC thing. People with allergies just go buy the OTC stuff and skip the dr. appointment unless the OTC stuff isn't working.
Reread this and reread my question above and come up with a different answer.

If they take it as prescribed and do not abuse it they are still straight edge. Does a person who goes to the dentist and needs hydcrocodone for a procedure suddenly not become straight edge?
It is retarded logic and you guys are just trying to knock me down.

I see what you are saying. If someone has a cold and needs cough medicine for their cough that is fine. If you are using DPH to go to sleep and that is the intended purpose of the drug then that is fine. 
The drinking thing though does mean you are not straight edge.
