I'm only thinking about this bc I just had surgery and I'm on oxy for the first time in 17 years, but, like...

Doctors really claim, like as a profession, that they just didn't know fucking opium was highly addictive and oopsie woopsie did a little fucky wucky and now like a million people are dead?

Cause I really never thought about that, but I took 1 "take 2 every four hours" pill SEVEN FUCKING HOURS AGO and I am still tripping balls and in my current altered state their cutesy little "We just forgot morphine was dangerous" shtick sounds pretty fucking ridiculous.

Oh and the DEA and FDA must have been in on this, too, right? The whole time? Because no one would actually be stupid enough to believe this shit, right?

    Realistically it takes a few months of daily use to develop a proper physical addiction so how did that work?

    US doctors prescribe opiates for chronic pain. People were taking them for months on end under doctors' advice.

        Yeah and after a while opiates became somewhat harder to get in a few places because of the crisis. The hospital mass shooting that occurred a few years back was because the guy was unable to get any medication for his back pain
