A recreational drug user whose primary drug category of choice is pharmaceuticals, either over-the-counter or prescription.
Due to vastly different methods of use and perspective on life, the pharmer and the illegal drug user oftentimes
don'
t get along very well. Pharmers rarely trust the purity of street
drugs, and illegal users often scoff at the notion that a legal (especially OTC) drug could have equivalent effects to an illegal one.
The benefits of pharming are the guarantee of purity of
drugs and the greatly decreased chance of legal ramifications; the drawbacks are the extremely limited supply and high cost of prescription
drugs or the incredible dosage required of most OTC
drugs to use them recreationally.
