I just want to say that especially teenagers in NY are getting addicted to pain medicine...they get a sports injury and next thing you know they are addicted.... they can't get the meds from the dr anymore because the injury is over so they move on to heroin....the epidemic is real!!!! I suffer from sever pain, ( my spine collapsed and I am on my 5th surgery, but I do not take pain meds)...Young adults are dropping like fly's here...narcain use to be used once to revive an overdose but now it 2 -3 attempts!!! very scary here in NY

I still don't understand why I should have to pay for the behavior of others. I feel bad for them but why don't they stop when the injury is gone? Because they like to get high, or they're weak.
You do understand that opiates are incredibly addicting, right? Everyone's minds are different and some get no withdrawals when they get off their pain meds but there are others where those opiates click and they need to be able to wean off of them just like a lot of other medications out there.
Many people are not informed of the dangers of the medications and the withdrawals they can have from them. I've seen it happen many times before, even with people that haven't touched any type of drug in their life.
It has zero to do with them being weak, you obviously have no idea how drugs and the mind work.
