Agreed. Valid point at where they start the dosages too. (A bit high usually imho).
I redflagged myself because dope became "Grey death", pills became insane expensive, and its just a exhausting lifestyle (actually it was mostly the probation lol).
Would your point not be moot if those were the only "accessible opiates legitimately given out" and they are going to hang me out to die on the other end anyways? (not trying to start anything and I am not sure if I am arguing semantics or logistics here even).
It was with great reluctancy and the push of probations onset and knowing I would be assigned a rehab by the court if I did not act preemptively. If I am in pain a doctor is just kind of a middleman after I get the diagnosis? Figure I am better fending for myself when it comes to pain.
I will concur that is scary and not a good thing by any means. But when the system fails you... ( I do see the wisdom you are passing down here, chronic pain is almost sure to happen if you live long enough and having a big red flag isn't going to help the doc's pen loosen up and that would be a hellish state --- truly sickening that they are doing this. May I ask when the de-facto ban began, US or ? *sounds like a US move* )
