Terpenoids in LA air pollution
Cool lets stop sendimg water to socal to save everyone from the terpsâŚ
watch cali try to tax cannabis further for terp pollution .
Ahhh. Youâre finally being honest!
Listen, I know itâs hard to admit your mother sold your Christmas presents because she didnât give a fuck about you. Itâs so much easier to blame the drugs.
That your cousin didnât rob your house, and if he did it was his addiction that forced him to do it.
That your brother and your wife would never turned to sucking dick if it wasnât for those evil mind-controlling drugs that those evil doctors put them on.
Youâre so sure you know what youâre talking about, why strawman my argument? Is it above your abilities to address my point directly?
The fucking article you posted explicitly states there are a myriad of reasons for continuing their opiate abuse. Pain management wasnât even at the top of the list. Again. Did you not read the fucking article you posted!?

Itâs so funny that bump stocks are now legal and giggle switches arenât. LmfaoâŚ
The fucking racism could not be more transparent.
You should read the article he posted before you jump on his dick. Are yâall really so fucking emotional youâre gunna strawman the researchers, too?
From the authors:
âMost research designed to answer the âwhyâ of the prescription opioid epidemic has relied on structured interviews, which rigidly attempt to capture the complex reasons people use opioids âŚ
Rather than simply providing a âhigh,â opioids reportedly relieve psychological/emotional problems or provide an escape from life stressors. As use continues, avoidance of withdrawal sickness becomes an overriding concern, with all other benefits playing minor roles in persistent use.â
-_-
One of the people in one of the studies said:
âWhen I couldnât stand the pain, I would take a pill. And then one day, I woke up and took a pill; there was no pain though.
âŚ
When you first start taking em, you can take a couple pills and you feel nice. And then your body starts increasing its tolerance and you have to take more.â Oh no! Iâm two weeks into it and I donât have my prescription anymore, so letâs go to a different doctor.
-_-
Sounds an awful lot like what I describedâŚ. Hmmm⌠letâs continue readingâŚ.
the FDA allowed the sponsoring company to state in the package insert or label that abuse was expected to be low because of the slow
release properties of the formulation.[36]
However, addicts cleverly and quickly realized that they could defeat the slow-release device by crushing or dissolving the pills, making large amounts of oxycodone immediately available in a form suitable for snorting or intravenous injection.
Oh snap, everyone always calls these companies monsters, but it sounds like in this particular case they were just fucking dumb. Also, they donât crush em or dissolve them, they suck on the pill and the coating dissolves.
Fascinating. Letâs keep going.
-_-
I thought it was a safer drug because it was legal. So who cares if Iâm abusing it, itâs legal, so what are they going to do?[22]
Moreover, often to justify their use of pills and assuage any guilt, patients convinced themselves that heroin addicts were junkies, but pill addicts were more socially acceptable. To wit:
I actually frowned upon [heroin]. Like, for me that was the epitome ofâI just had visions of the movies and somebody thatâs dirty and sitting in an alley. For me, that was heroin, like that was the bottom of the barrel. And, I knew in my head that itâs basically the same thing as a blue. Itâs just pharmaceutical.[21]
Yeah, Iâm not doing heroin. Iâm not a heroin addict. Iâm just a pill head. I have seen that a lot, especially with girls too.
-_-
Back to the authors, who seem to think pain management isnât all that fucking important for these junkies:
although self-medicating physical pain and use for altering mood/pleasurable feeling were noted, the most cited reasons included use as a response to life stressors or as a means of self-medicating psychological issues, effects of trauma, or emotional pain.
Fuck, @cyclopath youâre a fucking retard for posting this article without reading it first. Lmfao. How the fuck did you manage to get that degree? Reminds me of that joke, what do you call the person who finishes last in class in medical school?
Iâll end it by shitting on these junkies. Look at this fucking quote.
â You donât get high after a while. You just need it so youâre not sickâ.
Awww, youâre gunna be kinda sick if you quit!? How fucking pathetic.

Not to stick my head in the lions mouth butâŚHow Purdue Used Misleading Charts to Hide OxyContin's Addictive Power - CBS News
Not saying that all companies do this deliberately, but at least in the instance of Oxy being addictive and Purdue claiming to shareholders and customers (doctors/patients) that it wasnât addictive they werenât be âjust fucking dumbâ as you say. They deliberately altered their own research to make it APPEAR less addictive. This is what makes companies in this day and age monsters. The fact that they can get away with intentionally misleading regulators, shareholders, and customers with zero repercussions.
Edited:
The people at the FDA who are responsible for approving the packaging statements look at these types of graphs all the time. So to me some of the blame should fall on them for what seems to be willfully ignoring the fact that Purdue was using skewed data. Lots of blame to go around here and pinning it all on the people hurt by a multinational, multi billion dollar company seems shortsighted. And while I agree with you that there are some personal responsibility problems at play in our society, we collectively shouldnât ignore that the powerful people/companies might just actively be trying to keep their boots on our necks.

Itâs a special kind of idiocy required on behalf of the regulators to actually believe Purdue that Oxycodone isnât addictive. EVERY centrally active, mu-agonist opioid is addictive. This has been known for a very long time. Doesnât relieve Purdue of their responsibility, but puts a lot of additional guilt on regulators.

Maybe they want to quit such stressful business and do not want to be prosecuted for mass murders in Mexico. In the US they would be prosecuted for drug trafiking âonlyâ, as were some Colombian druglords.
