So when it’s your loved family member who was given a legal prescription opioid for chronic pain and fell down a slippery slope, turn you back and let them die.
Sometimes you don’t catch an addiction, the addiction catches you. Broaden your view.
Bullsh!t First off if they're your family member YOU do something for them, Don't screw over the taxpayers for your family member's bad decision. Second EVERYONE has a choice. No one forces you to become addicted, whether the process is a gradual "slippery slope" or all out heroin shoot up. I've been given opioid prescriptions for pain on multiple occasions, and as long as you just take them for pain, there isn't any desire to keep going. Pain is an antagonist to opioid effects.
the addiction catches you.
Your opinion, not mine.
