That is exactly what I am saying. It is perfectly acceptable for an opioid-tolerant individual to take their normal dose of opioids and then drive. Millions of people do it everyday without being a risk on the road.

At first opioids do intoxicate you- and then as time goes by, if taken daily, they stop giving you that euphoria. In order for people to still get high on their meds, they need to take extra and/or wait a while in between doses. If a person has been taking 4 Norco a day everyday for a year, that dose is not making them high, and it's not affecting their motor skills. Once you are tolerant, you stop nodding out in normal doses.

I can tell you from personal experience this is perfectly safe, and that the same goes for benzos. If anyone doubts this, feel free to call a pharmacy and ask if it is safe to drive on opioids or benzodiazepines after becoming tolerant to the sedative effects after several months of taking it. I guarantee they will say yes. Millions of Americans have to do this; they drive to work and function daily at their jobs while on opioids and/or benzodiazepines.
