FDA Proposal To Curb Painkiller Overdose Deaths Would Add Burdens For Pain Patients
What they were answering

Its 4 am and I'm too tired to explain myself but it's a good idea to not perscribe opiates. A little pain never hurt anyone
EDIT: Okay I see the very obvious irony in my statement now, I was fucking tired okay. But if you look at the addictions and lives ruined by opiate addiction, you'd see there's a need to start regulating them more closely. Don't get me wrong, if some one truly does have chronic pain and they're only using the drugs to treat themselves, there's no problem with that. But doctors have become too lax, I've had several friends fake pain in order to opiates, and sometimes they're successful. In my province (I'm Canadian) 60% of all beds in addiction treatment centres are filled with opiate addicts. That's including alcohol. It may take away the feeling, but it doesn't stop the pain.

I just had shoulder surgery last Wednesday. I don't think you really understand the level of pain some procedures can cause. I don't even want to imagine what it would have been like without the oxy script. It fucking hurt!
