For recovering addicts/users:
Does the potential future need for serious pain relief as a result of surgery or other legit condition bother you.
It does for me, at least for the next 25 years (as I might not care if I reach 75). Small doses well into a state of partial recovery have known to send me into withdrawal. Is there a way to mitigate this? Can I wear a medical tag "don't administer opiates"? Perhaps new forms of pain relief are on the horizon or could they provide relief locally to pained areas of your body. I can't do another withdrawal, mind and body can't take it.
For current addicts:
1. Ever worry about the DEA and it's efforts of trying to reverse the pain killer/heroin epidemic? Make one mistake on your opiate contract and your gone. I suppose heroin will always be around but some of us are more of the pharmacuitcal culture and dont hit the streets. Plus some of us are 'spoiled' on pharmacy grade gear.
I can imagine a big push to ween folks down to lesser numbers. A big metric for the DEA and government will be pill and script numbers. Maybe they will grandfather most of the old pillheads in, but it's not always easy to provide perfect pee when your a pill junkie and you run out. Also if pill counts start to become more serious, I'd say 75% or more folks are in trouble.
Bottom line, especially for pharm users, the writings on the wall. The pill lifestyle is already hard enough, I foresee it becoming unbearable.
Any thoughts?
