I know all about weening and all that, but sometimes it doesn't work as smoothly as for most. I'm not saying it can't be done, but with the increased scrutiny MDs are getting from the government, it is sometimes too painfully a process for some to deal with inside the 'legal' bounds. For many of those people, especially those with an independent streak, it causes less mental pain to say the hell with the rules and do what they think is best for them.

It's a tough, complicated situation all around.

The problems always start when someone goes from just stopping pain to achieving pleasure. Once that line is crossed, they are in deep trouble. All drugs tend to have a tolerance, so they have to get more and more.. Usually quickly.

If they stick to helping pain only, this won't happen as often, since the doses don't reach the 'high' part typically.
