If you are old, like I am, you will hear the horror stories about health and old people (they go together). Getting hooked on opiates is not at all uncommon, and a concern for many my age. And they love to push the stuff. Cha-ching!

I am currently reading a book on the Sackler family called Empire of Pain and it is heavily reinforcing my desire to stay away from opiates.  Sad stuff.

There was a documentary on Netflix a few years ago called "The Pharmacist" that is a must watch.

I used to have an edible daily, but haven’t touched the stuff in close to a year. I stopped without any issues

When I had my left shoulder surgery in 2008, I was prescribed Oxycontin for pain. This was before I knew thing one about it. Tried one. Didn't help. Never took another. Lucky me.
