I've actually heard of a few people that did not do well with the implanted birth control options. I've known about it for some time but never considered it an option for myself.

I personally like this. But I am not to sure about the contact lenses. Too small and expensive. Feel free to talk about any other cool tech you guys come across.

Yeah I would definitely like to have augmented reality glasses.
I notice at school how many people walk through the hallways with their heads down, looking at their phone. Hell, sometimes I'm one of them. Having it in glasses means that you can see what is going on while you are reading email or texts, also the fact that you could have navigational overlays while driving is amazing.

Because they quite literally are a deposit left in the body. ISTR that they were developed in Europe so I suspect a French influence in the naming convention. Still commonly called Depot Injections over here and usage has expanded widely into the mental health sector.
I know about them because although I'm not a woman, my father, as a pharmacist was involved in promoting depot contraceptives as a sexual health option in the adult mental health care practices, particularly for adults who's conditions involved learning difficulties. I regularly took an interest in what he was up to and as a child you would often find The Pharmaceutical Journal mixed in with my comics, Tintins and other more age appropriate reading material.

My friend "A" had this, except she made the mistake of showing it to me and a bunch of other then-new friends at a party. One of the others (a female, for added lols) made the mistake of poking at the device a little too hard, throwing the hormone balance far enough out of wack to send poor "A" into a 15-minute vomit fiesta.

But taking LSD would not be useful to you in even remotely the same way.

Bullshit, I bet if I spent the same money on acid as it costs to buy this gadget (and had a way to preserve it well enough so I could go at my own preferred intake pace), I would have at least 6000x as many songs written.
