It also opens up a huge avenue for siblings or children to steal the elder's pills and sell them. It's a fuck-all mess.

Lol you drug warriors are as bad as liberal "blood in the streets" zealots.
So they are now addicted to methadone, which is 10 times harder to get off of. I guess, yay? All because of the feels of "opioid addiction". You seem to be perfectly fine with them being addicted to methadone, but not opioids....why? |

Give up on the damn pill crisis. Soon you won't be able to get a pain pill after a major surgery. Everything should be legal and you should be able to judge for yourself what is needed and what is not.

Wanted some actual context:
American Society on Aging: Adults 45 and older die from opioids at a rate of 10.6 per 100,000 according to the most recent study I could find. (CDC 2015) 10.6 per 100,000 is considered "destroying." |

Remember the first season of Gold Rush Alaska where it turned out about a quarter of the crew, (Todd's father, his friend and some other guy), were all dependent on rx opioids?

My mom is living this misery now, my deceased dad before her. Chronic pain from previous injuries/surgeries result in essentially 24/7 pain limiting mobility and quality of life. Prescription pain killers are the only relief and ability to be more active and have a fulfilling day, however everyone is freaking out about addition. Now my mother (and many like her,) have to do without or have so little pain medicine it doesn't dent the pain so they simply have to "bare it."
Shit is fucked up and honestly has changed my mind of assisted suicide. They're old and dying, for God's sake give them the chemicals to make what time they have left peaceful or let them kill themselves in dignity without the ramifications. |

The VA is no help, workman's comp from injuries sustained on the police department is a joke. Going to a doctor and people think he's drug seeking... Meanwhile, he can't walk without a cane and will come in with half a bottle of morphine from the last time a doctor would actually help and tell them, "Look... I don't want to get high... If I wanted to just get high, I have pills. Ever see a junkie with leftover drugs? I just need help." Fucking nothing. "Try ibuprofen?" He's been on the max dose of ibuprofen for about 20 years and it doesn't really help much anymore. The worst part is that there's literally nothing I can do to help. I could give a fuck if he ended up addicted to something as long as his last years are manageable. |

Never had an inkling about opium dens or the VN gets coming back addicted to morphine er nuthin.

Reddish-brown and extremely bitter, laudanum contains almost all of the opium alkaloids, including morphine and codeine. Laudanum was historically used to treat a variety of conditions, but its principal use was as a pain medication and cough suppressant. Until the early 20th century, laudanum was sold without a prescription How Did The Human Race Fucking Survive before the drug warriors rescued us? |
