[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 212669, member: 3959"] These guys are given, encouraged even, to take high strength pain-killers (opioids, like Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Hydrocodone) regularly, like their candy. They take them and feel invincible, I know all about it. They are pushed on them, to keep them performing, which makes the teams money. And after long enough time on them, you become physically dependent on them. Again, I know all about it. After I broke my legs skydiving, I dealt with this for 5 years afterwards. And you dont get this way because you're an addict, you get this way because they are being handed to you like candy, and the unscrupulous Dr's make a ton by prescribing them to you, with free vacations to wherever... Unless you've ever been in this type of situation you really dont know what it's like to be there. The pharmaceutical companies are just a legal version of the heroin dealer on the corner. Blaming a a guy for listening to his Dr. (and to not to would now be considered a crime, or get you labeled mentally unstable (Lord forbid you ever disagree with a Dr!)) and inadvertently becoming dependent on opioids (heroin) is akin to shooting oneself in the foot. The problem will never get solved by attacking the user, rather the dealer (Glaxxo-Kline-Smith, Merck, etc), should be held responsible, especially when they are the ones that hold the doctorate degree's and always tell you "it's okay, everyone is doing it." I dont watch tv, but every now and again I see some of it, and I am disgusted at how far down the tubes we have gone. Every commercial is about a pill that can cure whatever ails you. We have strayed so far from what nature intended (pre-planned), that I cannot participate anymore. [/QUOTE]
