    The thing is, this problem isn’t going to end until they start prescribing pain medicine to people who need it again.

    not like it was during the opiod crisis in the early 2000’s, but I have seen personally with my own two eyes people who are in tremendous amounts of pain have broken necks and other ailments and the doctors basically tell them to get fucked.

    I’ve seen veterans who tell me when they asked their doctor for more because what they are prescribed is no longer working they would lower their dose.

    Its cruel, to be honest. Thing is I get it “aw man but people could get high off of that stuff!?!!!”

    If its the only thing that helps these people live their day to day lives then who gives a damn? If you don’t take away their medication suddenly then its manageable.

    I’ve seen people give up and just take one of their like 5 opiates they do get prescribed for a broken bone or whatever and take those and go to the methadone clinic and say they are addicts just so they can FINALLY get some pain relief. Methadone is actually a fantastic pain killer because it controls nerve pain and lasts 12 hours or so.

    But good luck getting it prescribed for that! No no. You must be a dirty junky and horrifically addicted before we let you get that

    Honestly fuck the DEA. I’m not saying sell heroin at the gas station but Jesus Christ they have forced doctors hands with threats of taking away their licenses and shit if they even think about prescribing opiates to someone who really needs them for pain management.

    There was a man in Indiana who helped people navigate through “pain Management” basically its like the meat market, they make you undergo all these experimental injections and shit that don’t actually work and make things worse a lot of the time in order to get a crumb of the actual pain medicine you really need. So he would help people connect with actual doctors who give a damn and would help them.

    DEA and friends shut him down. He only helps kids now because of the constant threats to his freedom by the DEA.

    Fuck the DEA. THEY have been the ones who let shit get out of control and then want to play damage control so they can fill the prisons when it became a nuisance for them.
