"Makes me hate prescription drugs".
Sorry to hear of this person's troubles...but...
Not everyone can handle certain things...alcohol, for example.
And it it weren't prescription drugs, who knows what might bedevil some people.
For the most part, drugs don't make people f'ups...being f'ups makes people f'ups. Take away drugs, there will still be bottom of the barrel f'ups.
Others can handle prescription drugs, alcohol, even "illegal" substances like marijuana, and use them sparingly, or not at all...without getting "hooked" or f'ing up their lives.
And so to penalize those who can handle them, and need to use them in a legal manner to combat pain and live somewhat of a normal life should not be the answer.
Try living with a painful condition and truly needing these things...in today's "anti-prescription drug" environment.
Sucks.
In part, because of fear.
