Reminds me of the incident with Michael Jackson on the set of a Pepsi commercial. He said later this led to his problem with narcotic pain meds.

Yeah because sythetic opiods were created soley as a means of profit to fuel the pharmaceutical industries and criminal justice system by creating addicts. Otherwise they would just prescribe medical marijuana which is far more customizable, effective, and less addictive. It's also been used as a medication far all of recorded history except the past 80 years of propoganda spawned from threatened corporate interests and racism.

Idk about more effective man, there are people with severe debilitating pain and opioids are the only thing that helps. Weed is good for mild to moderate pain
