No personal responsibility there. Nope.
In other news, Rosie O has blamed Hostess cupcakes for the obesity epidemic as they are so easy to get you just gotta cram ‘em down your gullet.
There is actually a thread of truth to his claim.
Here in KY there is an epidemic of this stuff being prescribed in some towns. But, truth be told, it’s the doctors AND the suppliers. IIRC, one small town here went through something like two million “legal” prescriptions in a year or two.
He’s blaming someone else for not having enough self control to say “No thanks Doc- the pain won’t kill me. Fact is that I’m an addictive personality and might become addicted if i take them”?
From my article above:
The suit alleges that from January 2010 through December 2016, McKesson distributed 18,434,834 doses of prescription opioids in Floyd County alone, amounting to 477 opioid pills for every person living in the county.
True.
What about the open southern border?
Take some reponsibility, dude!!!!!
I was prescribed opioids repeatedly after surgeries and weaned myself off them as rapidly as possible. No adult in America should absolve themselves of responsibility for knowing what they are ingesting, why, and for how long.
Doctors are a big part of the problem, they over prescribe opioids - I have seen it personally more than once. They even prescribed it my son when he was 16 years old in a car accident, even when we told the doctor “no opioids whatsoever”
The forner druggie musician didn’t know that Oxy was addictive?
I’d like to read about his experiences. Maybe the time article is online. I have read Anthony’s autobiography, and the same thing happened to him on one of the times he got clean. A dentist wrongly prescribed him an opiate I think.
OxyContin is BAD!
Legalize Pot!
Does anyone else see the paradox?
This guy must not know about the CIA’s policies in Afghanistan.
Pain can be very difficult for people, and they quite naturally expect their doctors’ Help with it.
I think everyone in that band has had a serious drug problem. This goes back into the 80s.
The guy gets clean, but 20 years layer some Dr dangles OxyContin in front of him and he’s dumb enough to grab at it? And he ran into trouble?
The brain of a flea.
Manufacturer stops promoting oxy sales:

That’s like blaming the liquor store owner for selling you booze.
It is your responsibility...
“Flea, the lead bassist...”
As opposed to the rhythm bassist?
I BLAME OBAMA. HE IS THE ONE WHO SAID TO ‘JUST TAKE A PILL’ INSTEAD OF BEING TREATED FOR ANYTHING.
