At the top of the news every morning. This morning it was about Meth in Fresno Ca. Yesterday it was about OxyContin in Coal county. Heroin use and addiction in San Francisco. Virtually every public park in the city is full of junkies. Hard drugs are rampant. What about legal prescription drugs, that many are hooked on. It’s no wonder Merica is on its ass. Most are asleep, or too fucked up to care. The truth is how the drug trade fucks up the small Countries to the south. Nothing new about this. It’s been going on for years. Is there a solution? There is only one.
I would’ve thought prescription drugs if anything? Having virtually the whole nation thinking that’s it’s okay to use prescription drugs prescribed by a doctor all because situation life is a wee tough, just doesn’t seem right. A recipe for disaster. Maybe that’s the root of the problem. Prescription drugs being the gateway drug as such for harder drugs down the line?
This issue is a bit deeper than that. Doctors give opiates for pain and sometimes they are needed for a long enough period to create a dependence. And then because of regulations, doctors can only give so many so they cant just wean people off. They will cut people off suddenly and it drives them to street drugs. Than once they do that.....no doctors will treat them.
But you can go to rehab and get a medical detox.
Its fucking retarded. Just inform patients about dependence and have a care plan ready to manage it. Have them sign a contract and take drug tests.
There are ways to manage this opiate issue with out resorting to practicing primitive and inhumane medicine.
They can just medically detox people when it's time to get them off the pain killers. It takes like 3 days!
