Does anyone else think that the current crusade against these people and the general hysteria going on in society regarding Opioid medication is total nonsense? I mean, Purdue pharma is being blamed for lying about how addictive the opioids they manufacture were. I don't give a rats ass what their sales reps told doctors. I mean how does a doctor not know that opioids are physically addictive and always have been and always will be and the physiology behind how they create dependency? Oxycodone isn't some new, designer opiate-type drug, like Tramadol was considered when it first came out and which 'might' create some confusion about it's addiction potential. It's straight up pharmaceutical heroin and every doctor should know that.
And the current hysteria around opioids in general is just ridiculous to me. It's almost as if now that weed is being let off the hook, the prude WASP paternalists need another "drug" to go after. Of course, alcohol and tobacco are never their targets.
