Yeah, SOME doctors underprescribe them NOW. the guy I used to buy weed from back in the day (like 10 years ago) would make a run down to Florida a couple times a year and come back with a MOUNTAIN of pills. Because of shit like that when I had surgery a couple years ago, I left the hospital with 8 stitches and 20 staples running down my ass crack, they have me a handful of fucking Tylenol....
Yeah FL used to be the nation's biggest pillmill but those days are long gone. It's been years and years since then, that's why so many addicts switched to heroin because the pill supply dried up.
I agree with regard to opiate painkillers which though super addictive are very safe when taken in moderation (i.e. not to overdose levels). Benzos are still handed out like candy and, unlike opiates, withdrawing from those can be fatal even from using them as-prescribed.
Dude, benzo withdrawals and alcohol withdrawals are BY FAR the most deadly, Opiate withdrawals make you FEEL like you're dying and can kill if you have heart problems or severe hypertension by raising your blood pressure. GABAergic withdrawals make your body go completely haywire. Things like your heart rate, breathing, etc.
i think Dr Jordan Peterson went into a long rehab stint to get off those wretched Benzos pills. If someone as based and level headed as JP can get caught up in it what chance does the average joe have with a serious pain ailment?
It's a short term addiction, not a long term like meth, pills, and heroin. But I guess anyone can get truly addicted to any substance at the same time.
I understand, I have fucked up with pills before. What I was saying is the high doesn't seem to be enjoyable, but I get what you are saying, it's not about the high but some other weakness in the person that seeks hard drugs. Sad.
spez: And I guess I will challenge your point because I did "come back". I know that I am one of the luckily ones though.. Or just at least a hard headed idiot, kek
Friends brother is all but destroyed by meth... he had a hard life, dyslexic etc and worked for cash his whole life... used drugs to get "up" for a few days, then would crash hard... sometimes not hear from him for 1-2 weeks... then "everything fine" for a time... and all the while, he loses weight, facial scars and scabs and over 5 years all his teeth fall out... he has tried to quit, and tried to stay clean- and amazingly has few health problems as yet. But it's just sad and nothing they have tried to do has helped. It's a tough road, and I would pray that anyone who falls down gets help...
Even alcohol and tobacco can slowly kill if abused long term. Totally with you on meth. That one is alluring. You feel like you can do ANYTHING and you never think you can get hooked until you're too deep into it. Portland is a major distribution point of Mexican cartel meth so I'm not surprised it's what fuels Rose City Antifa.
You've never seen what meth does to a person. It takes a moment of weakness to ruin a life.
Weed? Alcohol? Coffee? Tobacco? You can "try" those and come back. You can live on them daily, and then decide you are done.
The things we call hard drugs are NOT the same.
This, this this. Two major surgeries in one month. Sent home with 12 pills. 12 lousy pills and six months recovery.
Yea, they swung too far in the opposite direction, like they always do
Get some LDN (low dose naltrexone) from the Internet.
Better than wrecking your entire life.

Might be for the best.

The natural way is the only way. Id rather die than give the health czars my life savings and turn me into an addict.
Kratom and kava are legit.
Beware though kratom is mildly mentally/physically addictive but way better for you than opiates.
Or something worse
We're human. In any profession, there are bad people. And in liberal environments, they try to pressure us to be like this.
Those are things mostly prescribed by psychiatrists, not normal doctors. Psychiatrists over prescribe them and doctors under prescribe them
Cocaine? That’s like the quintessential severe addiction drug
It's a short term addiction, not a long term like meth, pills, and heroin. But I guess anyone can get truly addicted to any substance at the same time.
That sounds like a massive cope to me. Crack heads will smoke themselves to death before they quit, and crack is cocaine.
But I’ve never done cocaine personally so I guess I can’t say first hand, just what I’ve seen of crackheads it’s pretty fucking bad!
