3/ ...and abuse is real, and tragic, sure. But there are very real benefits to pain meds. Pain destroys life and destroys lives. So we get, as we so often do, an entirely nonsensical "analysis" that looks at benefits, and not costs, or costs, and not benefits.

14/ I don't see a problem being presented. What's the problem? That some people abuse opioids? OK, well, some people abuse alcohol. Should we destroy the Brown–Forman Corporation for funding ads, concerts, and bookbooks to sell Jack Daniels ?https://twitter.com/Bobthewelding1/status/1319248713173393408 …

16/ I'm an ancap. I believe that humans have rights to do whatever they want to themselves. I support the right of folks to drink whiskey for fun, take oxy for pain, and smoke crack cocaine to numb the pain of being a Biden.https://twitter.com/Bobthewelding1/status/1319249988615065600 …

The thing that bothered me was that they presented it as one dose every 12 hours where in some patients it would wear off after 8 or 10, and because the 12 hour thing was a USP then mounted a campaign to make doctors increase the dose not the regularity https://www.latimes.com/projects/oxycontin-part1/ …

Had doctors continued to use lower doses more often in patients who had those results, I would see no problem at all - but that repeated dose raising in patients where it didn't work massively increased the risks of both addiction and overdose.
