Yes, this.It's a brave new world. I mean I don't see it as a problem to use opioid replacement therapy indefinitely if it means having a better life. Isn't that idea of greater wellness what drugs first preyed upon in us? What is normal? Heck if I know!
Pods gave me my life back when I was in physical pain and resulting misery so bad I was counting the days until I die.
Instead of misery, I had fun, for many months. Then even after the fun starts to flatten I had pain relief.
Yes I could have grinned and borne it, but for what reason? Because the law says I can't decide for myself if I need opiates? Frick that, there are limits to what I'll do for the reason of "because I said so" from someone's government.
I feel lucky, blessed even, to be offered bupreorphine for life, the side effects are absolutely minimal. Pods for life would be even better, but there are legal drawbacks to that. I've even had my mascara tested for drugs at an airport ffs, they wouldn't find a huge quantity there, so why do they bother?
