        He didn't "suffer a fatal overdose", he inflicted an overdose upon himself. I'm sorry you lost your son, but stop taking personal responsibility out of the equation, stop blaming anyone else and stop demonizing LEGAL opioids that LEGITIMATE, INNOCENT chronic pain patients need.

        Illicit drugs came and people liked it, didn't have the will power to not take it. Unfortunately now chronic pain patients live with horrible pain, Elderly are dieing in pain, cancer patients are in pain, it's really not fair

        I'm so very sorry for your family's loss. I lost a cousin to an overdose on 7/29. It's a horrific disease that affects the entire family. Take good care.
