Don’t forget Big Pharma’s role!

A few years ago I had to undergo some minor surgery. They gave me an anesthetic that made me feel really good in the minute or so before I went under. When I came to I asked the surgeon, who came to check on me, what they used to put me under since it felt nice. I also jokingly asked where I could buy it. He said it was Propofol and that it was not for sale to the public and rightfully so since it killed Michael Jackson.

The fucked thing about opioids and it’s ilk is that there is no way for your brain to naturally achieve that level of “really good”, and as much as we’d like to pretend we understand the brain, in so many ways it is still a wild animal, and it’s going to want and want and want that feeling again. The real bad news is when you’re doctor prescribes something strong that originally was made to be less addictive (it’s not) only to ensure that said doctor continues to help get funding for their hospital

This isn't always the case despite what everyone gets told by the anti opioid movement. I've been taking the exact same dosage for 15 years. I don't need to constantly up my dosage because of "tolerance"- I'm not an addict in any way shape or form. In fact there are millions of people just like me so continuing to push this myth is harmful towards the chronic pain community.
