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?
Wow they gave you opiates for wisdom teeth, that's fuckin wild. I had mine out last year and the doc basically gave me a bottle of Tylenol.
They gave everyone oxy for their wisdom teeth. Lots of it. For years. And everything else. I haven't thought about this for a long time but between kids having teeth out, breaking bones, various sports injuries, and minor surgeries there was always oxy rattling around the house. That's just how it was in the 90s-00s.
