Yeah, big deal, it was a tooth. Unless you've seen chronic pain that completely alters a person's life, and last for months, and even years, a broken tooth is no where near the ballpark.Just 2 months ago I had a tooth extracted (it was a cracked tooth that had a root canal performed on it some 30 years ago). My dentist prescribed hydrocodone as painkiller - a one week supply.
I filled the prescription, brought it home, and instead took over-the-counter ibuprofen. I never took a single pill of that other stuff.
1) I am an informed consumer and read up on the medication.
2) (Admittedly) I am overly cautious when it comes to ANY medicine...paranoid in fact. I don’t tend to medicate at all...ever.
I own my consumption. I own my habits. There are none culpable for my conduct but me. None.
That said, there can certainly be multiple bad actors in drug trafficking, manufacture, prescription, etc...but I OWN MY CONDUCT.
As an aside, I will note that - repeatedly both you and ETR have demonized “profit” and “the rich/millionaires” in this thread with respect to blaming drug addiction.
Your deep, abiding marxism and communism is noted. You must be very gratified that the Democratic Party is increasingly on board with your preferred material deterministic, collectivist, anti-private property and anti-individual rights agenda.
This is patently anti-American, commie stuff.
But then again, you admitted responsibility in regards to Trump and that made this conversation worthwhile just the same.
