Hey everyone out there, I’m in need of some help. I am a freegan, which - for those of you who may not know - means I do not condone paying money in exchange for things, including and especially food. You know how people download music for free off the internet? I just take that one step further and only eat garbage. Goto freegan.info for more freegan info and let me know if you’re interested.

Now this is all fine, except I was born with a severe heart congenital heart defect that requires 100 mg injections of Efoxhitol daily, and one of the central parts of the freegan lifestyle is not dying. I’ve tried a number of various organic herb and root supplements but I’m finding that my heart rate has been slowing considerably (about 15 bpm right now) and my skin is turning grey. The fact is that I need my medicine.

So I am asking anybody out there with access to Efoxhitol and a number of clean syringes to please throw them away so I can find them when rooting through your garbage. Alert me to the location of your trash and I will be there as soon as possible. If you are a pharmacist with regular access to these drugs, maybe we could do an exchange where I throw away some money and a prescription and you find them in the garbage, and then you throw away some carefully dosed out Efoxhitol and I find them in the garbage.

EDIT: Since I’ve posted this, I’ve been getting a lot of responses from people who just aren’t attuned to the way freeganism works. I did not choose this lifestyle, it chose me. Telling me to just buy my medicine is literally like telling a black person to get new skin.
