Opioid abuse almost always starts off recreationally. Believe me I know I struggled for years. No one starts out thinking they're gonna be an addict ... they're gonna be that guy who figures out how to use it recreationally. It doesn't surprise me that having more options decreases the use. To me it's one of the best arguments for legalization.

You have a very valid point!!! Opioids are VERY ADDICTIVE whether or not you’re a believer in that. You use it a handful of times and all of a sudden there’s cravings

Always recreational?? Not quite. You get in an accident, have an injury and the Dr gives you a bottle of 120 Roxy with 4 refills. “Take responsibly” lol good luck

I take a mild one for migraines. I hate how they make me feel - but the pain goes away. I never have a craving for them if I don't take them.

I thought I put 'almost always' ... always is almost always a bad idea to use absolutely. Updating. Thank you!!
