Where I grew up in the south...Id take a guess that 10-percent of the guys between thirty and sixty....are regularly taking opioid pain meds. They have no intentions of quitting because they have work or old football injuries, and its the only thing that deadens the pain. Fine....but you cant rely upon these people after a year or two, and theyve doubled their dosage level. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. At best, you're making vast generalizations.
I've been on an opioid for almost 10 years for extreme back problems. (yes, I've had surgery and get injections periodically) Some days I take less, some days I take the full dose. I've never doubled my dosage! People can damn well rely on me! I'm actually more reliable at my job than my younger co-workers.

Pain causes far more distraction at work than a proper dose of opiates.
I heard somewhere that all this outcry against opiates is really about money.
Basic old time meds can’t be patented. So they aren’t a big money maker.
It’s always about the money.
