  1. The people on these drugs are in PAIN. If they made drugs that killed the pain but was not addictive, they would use those. But they don't because to block the pain receptors causes physiological effects that mean that withdrawing from those drugs makes you sick. Then they try to wean people OFF the drugs, but if they are still in pain they still need them, so they go on heroin.

  2. 301st viewer... not just a while. Some pain is chronic, lasts long after the cause of the pain has ceased to be. Extremely intense pain injures the nerves and causes them to continually scream pain messages.

  3. bluelightning1224 marijuana won't cut it for pain relief for the conditions that they use oxycontin or ndone or whatever on.

  4. ***** A non addictive pain medication? Yeah that would be incredibly profitable. Or just one that did not make you high and could not be used recreationally. However, pain receptors don't work that way. The way it works that if your pain receptors are blocked (which is what opioids do) then the body feels euphoria.

  5. garvythecapricorn ... you did not get addicted because your pain was not chronic. It was acute. That means pain levels spiked sharply and then went back down.

  6. Tim Cronin ... and there are the long term health effects of these drugs, but on the other hand, if the people with chronic pain do NOT get these drugs, then they have OTHER health effects from not being able to sleep or eat because of the chronic pain.

  7. Tim Cronin Some work better than others. There are different kinds of pain, and some don't do anything for certain kinds of pain because that's not how they work. Pain can be killed at the brain, at the nerve or at the point of origin, but if it is nerve pain, you can't kill that, you can quieten that pain, or you can block up the pain receptors in the brain with opioids.
