I was prescribed oxy for severe chronic pain,
It saved my life.
Allowed me to get out of bed, work, sleep, perform on stage without doubling-over..
I adminned a group for women with endometriosis (a severely painful and exhausting chronic illness) and when they were denied opiate painkillers, they couldn’t function. They couldn’t be mothers to their kids.
I’m a Trump supporter (until Warp-speed), and my one problem with him before warp-speed was that he began the war on opiates by denying people prescription pills.
Most of the people who are addicted to drugs, I assume, from listening to Mark Laita’s channel, take them for the feeling - to forget they were raped and molested as kids and when they have to do sexwork - to numb themselves.
But I’ve been in opiates for several years, the first month it came with a high.. I had a little more fun singing in rehearsal and did a few auditions with fewer nerves (which was fun), but once that wore off, after like a month, I used it for pain and I thank God I got a break from living in pain.
All drugs have a medicinal purpose - that’s why people use them, to self-Medicate.
Schizophreniacs chain-smoke, it turns out tobacco helps quiet down their brain.. I didn’t know that and when my dad asked me to buy him cigarettes I told him no. Now that I know this - I regret not helping him.
I assume there must be a better, cleaner way, to use hard drugs when people need them, like chewing on coca leaves and not snort cocaine.. I wish we’d get over the stigma and the whole “sexwork for a fix” level of addiction…
In the times when they wrote Sherlock Holmes, they injected opiates like vitamins.. so.. I don’t know where exactly I stand on that..
Let’s start with cleaning the streets of violent criminals, and the drugs might just go away by themselves.
BTW, to everyone with a chronic illness - Chinese medicine healed me and I didn’t need the opiates for 4 months (then modern medicine gave me cancer and yay…).
Am I making any sense…?
P.S.
once I got prescribed a fentanyl slow-release sticker, and it’s scary shit. I came running back to return it.
