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?
Yeah, the handful that they give you for post-surgery recovery aren't going to turn you into Axl Rose overnight. Still, don't stay on them for any longer than you absolutely have to, and if you have chronic pain, you're pretty much boned. Might as well get the pleather pants and start working on an off-key rendition of "Paradise City" now if you aren't in a state with medical weed.
