“One day when they legalize marijuana this pill abuse will stop”

So there is NO pill abuse in California or other states which have legalized marijuana?

Nonetheless, people shouldn’t be condemned for taking the hard way of avoiding addictive painkillers and/or recreational drugs. We don’t intend to go through addiction. We intend to NOT go through addiction by avoiding the drugs in the first place if at all possible. On the other hand, go ahead and condemn us for not being addicts. Being clean is its own reward.

Here recently a friend and I were travelling on West Roberts Road, when an SUV shot around us at the tracks and ran the redlight on hwy 29, almost turning over. As we sat at the light I said to my friend, "I bet that lady is heading to the opioid clinic". The light turned green and we proceeded north on 29 and sure enough she was walking away from the SUV, toward the entrance. I honked the horn and we waved. That lady gave us the finger. I guess she was anixous, or Jonesin for a fix. Amen Green Jeans and HuH.

Ice cream is not illegal. Weak people use drugs and alchohol to escape everyday life. We all have pain and problems at one time in our lives but get strong and get over it. And leave fat out of the equation. I would rather be fat than be a drug addict. To the person who used ice cream like it is a drug is ridiculous. Ice cream is not illegal.

In drug court when they go to doctor or dentist they are suppose to tell the doctor. They go from one doctor to the other to get lortab. what so sad is that we are paying for a lot of these drugs for people with no insurance.

I see your point but my other was not the only person who was hooked on it their are many there are also many dopeys that would rather pay 2 dollars a week with Medicaid than 6 and 7 dollars a pill off the street for one if you a chronic pain u would be at pain management or a Dr to get ur meds not a methadone clinic right for two I'm not dogging ur methadone whatever helps u but no matter what u say its very addictive and not only will people like itself that need it but also addicts will be in line to get their legal fix sorry if I offended u but I do not agree with this century is bad enough @Renee.

Not to mention that, yes, I have been prescribed and have taken substances that are potentially addicting (Benzodiazapines, for example). However, being a rational thinker, I only used what I needed and did not rely on these drugs as a crutch. I found other, more healthy ways to overcome my issues at the time. I also followed the prescribing instructions from the doctor and asked the doctor about the window for addiction for these particular meds. I discontinued their use long before that window was reached. I could probably drink less diet coke, but that's not an illegal or life threatening substance, so I think I'll continue to enjoy it. At any rate, the truth is usually something that those who don't want to hear it resent hearing, no matter how reasonably it is stated. @ um:

It's the people that take to much that do get a high .But if you use it with care. you could live with pain and live a normal life.I've been on Methadone for 15 years and never felt a high. so I'am living proof of that.yes there are bad withdrawels, but you can cut back everyday and reach what is safe.
