“They are NOT at all addictive.”
You have to understand that addiction varies by person. I cannot take any opiate painkiller - they make me feel terrible - worse than the pain they were prescribed for (for the few times I had cause for a prescription for them).
Some people get almost immediately addicted.
Some people never get addicted.
Opiates are a miracle for some people in intense pain. Watching loved ones dying of cancer - it reduced the agony substantially.
That said - there is a street market for these things. There are a LOT of people who pill-seek from doctors.
I think that trying to limit pill-seekers by forcing others to live in agonizing pain is a pretty sick policy.
This is the world we live in though. Our government coddles the addicts and throttles those truly in pain.
That’s the stark reality. If it were me that needed them, I’d try to figure out how to gauge a therapeutic dose out of street drugs - perhaps learn how to grow poppies myself - so I could control what goes into it.
You have no idea how effective or addictive these pills are to someone else - just by using your own experience.
Just curious can you eat much lettuce? I'm not trying to be funny or sarcastic it's a serious question with a good reason.
