Seems like this article could have been better served by the word "user" as opposed to "abuser". Many people taking 'Black Market/diverted" opioids are using them therapeutically after being cut off by their DR per-CDC guidelines. Doesn't necessarily make them an 'abuser' IMO

The problem isn't the amount of pain medication being prescribed to people who need it for chronic pain.. the problem is ppl combine sedatives/alcohol/benzos (xanax/valium etc.) with their pain medication which then creates fatal overdoses.

Tell it to someone who doesn't have scrips for all the pain meds they want. Then tell it to someone who hasn't watched both family members, and friends, die from your milk of the poppy Opiods are addictive, period. You're playing with nuclear fire wearing sunglasses and spf 15

I'm sorry to hear that. Just understand I'm approaching it from a logic based, harm reduction viewpoint. I'd like to save as many lives as possible. The quickest way to do that is to educate people on how to stay alive, no matter their current situation/substance use.

I concur. And I apologize for my harsh tone. We concur on prohibition. Addiction is a medical issue, not a legal one. much harm is still being done by our government's ironfisted approach. It must change. Doctors and medical professionals must be in charge.

Yup, at this very moment around 1 million people quit Opioids in favor of a natural herb/plant called
#kratom. It's safe, doesn't cause respiratory depression (main cause of pain med death) & now of course the iron-fisted FDA/DEA is trying to ban it. At every turn they screw us

My husband has tried numerous times to get treatment and either we could not afford it because of copay or we could not get it because we had insurance. It is very difficult to get treatment. And then they also make it hard to get treatment when you do to where you loose the job

True. Employers do not want the liability or safety risk of employing the drug-addicted - but there should be a social safety net to help people get treatment so they can re-enter the workforce.
