There's a HUGE difference. Look at it this way~ Are diabetics ADDICTED to insulin? No they're DEPENDANT on it. Addicts have completely different mindset. CPP's are DEPENDENT upon opioids for quality of life. Babies have no choice in the matter. They are DEPENDENT.

This is a very, very long read, but worth the time! Exposes the family, the company, the beginnings of the opioid crisis.
