pharmascene conversion 

A reaction to taking a new drug or medication that is so abrupt and paradigm-breaking that one immediately realizes that life, and one's perception of it, has been fundamentally and irreversibly changed. Named so in analogy to a religious experience, and as a portmanteau of "pharmaceutical" and "Damascene conversion".
Yeah, I was in pretty bad shape when the EMTs pulled me out of the wreck, but then they put the morphine in the IV and... man, I had a pharmascene conversion.

pharmasueticals 

Medicinal drugs dat cause so much harm dat their manufacturers get hauled into court over them.
Anytime I see a new "wonder drug" advertised, I always make sure to look it up online to see if there have been any major legal kerfuffles about it; usually there will indeed have been major allegations about unrevealed dangers and side-effects of said product, and so I just chalk it up as being yet another in a long string of pharmasueticals!

Pharmasheep

An aptly derogatory slang term combining "pharma" (short for pharmaceutical companies) and "sheep" (a metaphor for gullible people who conform blindly). It is used by critics and skeptics of mainstream medicine and vaccination policies to describe individuals who trust and follow official health guidelines or accept pharmaceutical products without questioning them.
I'm not anti-vaccine, but unlike the pharmasheeps, I question the policies, the individual vaccines, and then make informed consent based on my findings.
