Prescribing them to people who need them is a good thing. But they are also being prescribed to people who don't really need such powerful pain relievers. They then get addicted to opioids and some are turning to herion to feed their habit because it is cheaper and more accessible. It is fueling the heroin epidemic in the country.
So what?Originally Posted by Zippyjuan
Leave the junkies alone, they'll either be alright or they wont it's not a matter for government either way...
It is if they are committing crimes to feed their habit. The usage itself should not be a problem as long as they are only impacting themselves.
We were talking about opioid use not crimes committed to obtain them...
People commit crimes every day to feed their spending habit whatever that may be...
"Need."
There's that liberal tell word, followed by a slippery slope fallacy.
Yeah, no $#@!! + Rep
Dammit, it's impossible to have this conversation without the same old leap of logic.
"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat
"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." - Voltaire
How do you know if there is a single person on the entire planet who is addicted to pain relievers and is not in pain? You are claiming it is some kind of significant figure, but the fact is that it is impossible to prove there is even one.

"Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul
"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
Logic?
Let me see if I understand this: the DEA punishes MDs who pass out too much of the good stuff, so most MDs are beyond reluctant to write scrips for the good stuff, making the good stuff super hard to get even if you NEED it, and the restricted availability is somehow fueling the heroin epidemic?
It is all about accessibility. If you have a prescription for oxy, it is cheaper and safer than blackmarket heroin.
Then everything must be outlawed!
