A lot of people get addicted by medication now. I think it's wonderful that they can make non-addictive medication that'll kill pain but not produce any other effects. The best thing imaginable.

I haven't any problem with the idea, but it's a futile endeavor. The main thing they accomplish is to create ever greater hassle for those who don't have a problem with substance abuse.

I don't know how well this will work.

I've noticed that the most effective pain killers don't seem to work primarily by deadening the pain at it's source, but rather by giving an overall numbed out, high feeling which comforts you most by giving a sensation of being detached from the source of the pain.

In other words, the pain is still there, but it seems far away. That is the high feeling, and I think if you take that away, the drug will be much less effective when it comes to pain relief.

Somewhere I read a report that said people who take pain killers do not become addicted if they really have pain. Only people taking pain killers for fun do! Huh? I have pain. I cannot get pain pills to stop the pain! I could become addicted! But, I won't because I can't get them! I will suffer alot, which is good, it is not addicting.
