Topic	It's hilarious when drug addicts don't know they're drug addicts

Yes, most people who take opioids after surgery wont get addicted (even cocaine can be used as a local anesthetic), but theyre fairly dangerous. If you take too much, your body will stop producing various hormones that those drugs replace (I forget the exact ones as the class was awhile ago) because it thinks you already have what you need and thats where the addiction and withdrawals start. Its one reason why shit like Oxy has gone down in prescriptions because they would give that shit out like candy. Anyone prescribed opioids should be careful and only take the bare minimum. As long as you feel the alcohol epidemic is an even bigger one, then I see no double standard in claiming there's an opioid epidemic. Oxy should be prescribed appropriately, now we have doctors that are so reluctant to prescribe it and people have to go through pain. The opioid epidemic hysteria has only worsened the problem because as we've seen, trying to massively cut down on prescription opioids jacks up the street prices and makes even more people go for heroin. They're fighting the "epidemic" the completely wrong way. --- David Mink.
