bullcrap what? I never said anything even remotely close to what you just said- How did this turn into a bash bush thread all of a sudden? We’re talking about an epidemic being encouraged while banning meds that have been a tremendous boon to pain sufferers? Regardless of who did what- the fact is that illegal drugs are being ok’d while legal drugs that many rely on are being banned- or very hard to get-
Figure it out zippy. The article acts like heroin production was being fought there until Obama came along. Bush was his equal.
whether those pain killers are illegal or prescribed is that they have all these folks saying I’ve got pain and getting all doped up?
I am a firm believer that prescribed drugs should be a 2 or 3 day thing, then ibuprofen, motrin or aspirin is the way.
I can’t imagine a person on hard opiates for long periods. Wouldn’t it be like being a zombie?
I’ve broken my right wrist twice once with pins, my left forearm, my right ankle, numerous ribs over the years and been burned quite a number of times. At one time I also had serious back problems where as a workaholic I couldn’t get out of bed for 2 days. The pain was excruciating but I only took over the counter pain meds for that one.
I don’t know if I have a high threshold on pain or what but never felt pain after a tooth pulled or root canal.
Yet, every single episode above the doctor/dentist prescribed pain killers, rarely did I fulfill the prescription because I knew I wouldn’t need it and when I did the docs always said take it until the prescription is done.
That I think is how they hook all these people on these drugs
