the only opioid crisis is the one where we put poison in our pain relief drugs because an easily statistically calculable number of people with chronic pain just fucking dying is regarded as morally preferable to an imagined number of people with chronic pain feeling too good

it's beautifully constructed because acetaminophen is "a painkiller" so you can pretend you're putting it with the opioid to help people but if you weren't trying to make sure it would kill them if they took more than you want you'd use ibuprofen or naproxen

and of course any time you use lethality as a fence in the exercise of biopower you will kill a lot of people for whom the fence is closer than average

It's scary easy to overdose on pure narcotics such as morphine and hydrocodone. 200mg for morphine vs 90mg for hydrocodone vs 12,0000 mg for acetaminophen. Combination allows a lower dose of both and is safer.pic.twitter.com/fYD0CZznTs
