Why isn't it the people's own actions that take the blame. I am sick and tired of pain medications getting a bad reputation. They do the amount of people in pain more good than they do harm to the smaller porportion of people who decide to abuse them. Why aren't the benefits of pain medications ever in the media? People are scared I suppose. What ever happened to the war against cocaine or crank? I, for one, am much more worried about the availability, and non-monitored usage, of these man made/and or/tampered with illegal street drugs. I have been highly affected by this with family and friends, and pray for my children to never get into any addiction. Oh, I could ramble on and on about alcohol, cigarettes (which even I smoke, but am against), medications, and etc. But what good will it do?
