"Do you have oral sedatives?" Alice asked the pharmacist.
"We do have oral sedatives, miss. May I know the reason you would like to buy it?" asked the pharmacist carefully.
"Um, I need them," answered Alice hesitantly.
"Oral sedatives are used to soothe the effects of mental illnesses. It could numb your nervous system, but its side effects are great," explained the pharmacist. "You seem to be well. This is not good for your health."
Alice was stunned, but still, she insisted, "But I need it. I fear pain."
"Improper use of oral sedatives could lead to addiction. If you take too much of them, your personality will change and your cranial nerves will be damaged. In addition, you might develop hallucinations. It's better not to use this so casually."
"Just give me a small amount of it," pleaded Alice. "I don't need too much."
