Hmmmm ... how does that work for people who live in
those total-legalization cities ? Kinda hard to prove
they got "legitimately" hooked first when they can
just buy real/knock-off dope on the street and the
cops just look the other way.
This the fallout from the pharmecetical opiod
promotion when people were given legal drugs for pain
and then when they were cut off they looked to the
streets to relieve the pain that they started with
and then the pain of addiction which is pretty bad.?
The press given to the addictive quality of opiates
does not help. I have been on strong pain killers
several times in my life but am more addicted to
chocolate than anything else. i say this despite
the fact that I use medical strength cannabis to
promote sleep.
ANYway ... kinda way SICK of these "deep pockets"
things. Nobody MADE people gulp down zillions of
those pills and the makers just fill orders, not
work out deep stats. "ABuse" stuff is further down
the chain, at the law-enforcement level.
Pain of trauma and of addiction are pretty
strong motivation to take these damn things. Fentanyl
is an excellent anesthetic when used by qualified persons
but a killer when street drugs of unknowable strength
and quality is taken.
Oh, better the dopeheads were taking pharma grade
instead of whatever crap gets brewed in a Mexican
"lab". We've lately seen what THAT looks like -
fentanyl in everything now - and how MUCH, nobody
is ever sure - plus all the ultra-contaminated
meth going around, 'tar' heroin .....
"Dopeheads" are just people who were convinced
that they needed to take opiates on a regular schedule.
When you only take opiates to deal with the pain you are
having not the pain you are anticipating, it has litle
power over the individual.
The whole class of junkie was created when the
the Harrison Narcotics Act off 1917 was passed. Before
that the medical addicts from the Civil war and the
other conflicts that had come home with constant pain
went to the their doctor's office for medication via
oral or hypodermic injection.
Alcohol still is killing a lot of people every
year directly and from side effects such as erratic
vehicular operation.
bliss - addicted to chocolate, computer text and breathing.
Once you get used to the Oxygen with nitrogen it is hard to
go back to breathing ammonia and carbon monoxide.
