In many spiritual disciplines, the body is the "lens" through which our spiritual funtions experience the world. To alter the lens is to alter the way we interprit the world and thus to alter how we behave within it.
Indeed the 1950s (almost certainly using the Cold War as an excuse) the country began to become very interested in more or less, seeing how far they could take technology to Macchevelian ends with the simple perspective of "let's just see if it works." The MK-Ultra experiments are a shining example of this. Many American citizens became unwilling (and usually unknowing) guinea-pigs using "National Security" as reasoning (sound familiar?) The drug companies worked in symbiosis with these experiments, and consequently, both are bigger industries today than they have been in world history.
At this point let mee state that I don't believe for a second that 90% of these "rabid, right wing, conservative Christians" are Xian at all. They simply understand how easily Xians are to lead by around like the sheep they so proudly declare themselves to be. Politicians such as these are intersted only in material gain in almost Faustian glory. Simony as it exists rampant in offices of high political office is however, a different discussion (which I am more than willing to entertain).
Anyway, I have concluded that the reason there is no Amendment declaring individuals the right to medicate themselves as they please is because it will effectively end the War on Drugs which is a tremendous money cow for some of the more oppressive corporate intrests of many of our current law makers (or at least, that is how it will be explained to the masses).
But then, why do we even have a Bill of Rights anymore? Those guys have been dead for two hundred years and we live in a brave new world.

I'm not going to get into the religious control half of your statement, not because I'm angry or disagree, but because I just woke up five minutes ago :)
About the face cramming of asperin and whanot for headaches without finding out WHY you have a headache....
I used to be like that. I used to get blinding, sickening migranes twice a week at the least, sometimes not as frequently but when I WOULD get it finally it would be the fucking motherload.
So what did I do? I ate a bottle of excederine migrane a WEEK just to be able to function. I never noticed that my headaches were getting more frequent (about the time the pill wore off) and worse, I never put two and two together. Then I watched something on 20/20 a couple years ago abot "rebound headaches", where by continuously shoving pain relievers into your system you're making the problem worse, you're making the nerve endings that cause headaches hypersensitive by constantly trying to dull them, and when the pail reliever wears off they fire up and hurt like HELL because they're no longer numb. There was a man who hadn't NOT had a migrane every day for 40years. He took 10 asperin a day, and finally a new doctor of his put him in "asperin detox". He said it was five days in hell with the worst blinding head pain he'd ever felt in his life. Then on the fifth day he said he woke up and his headache was GONE....and he hasn't had once since.
I tried the same thing, I cut myself off and it was HORRIBLE for about a week, but now when I do get migranes, they're few and far between and the real murderous ones rarely hit me anymore.
What's extra funny is that 9 times of out of 10, when you have a headache, it's not the asperin that makes it go away, it's the glass of water you drink it with.
