Honestly I don't think the OP's are operating very far into any dangerous territory at all. Well, the OP's that require records and speak longer than 15 seconds that is; the others that don't, will be the first to fall. The longer-lasting OP's all require tangible records, and the doctor speaks at-length with the potential patient, all the while weighing his license status against patient rationale for opioid medication. As usual I back Billy on this, and one very important thing to remember is that as the various mindsets here clash, is that myself, and I betcha Billy too, ultimately believe we should have sole authority over what we ingest into our own bodies. The reason things become heated and contentious now is because there ARE laws on the book that don't give a hoot about pie-in-the-sky scenarios, they will be enforced at some point, on someone! Many of us that bicker back and forth actually share more in common that most other people, a tie that binds. I only mind recreational users right now because of legal repercussions that may affect me or other people who have been to the brink with this suffering. That's right... if you're a recreational OP user, you are endangering ME! BUT, I still want you to have that right ultimately, just not in a way that screws me over right now, given the sh1tty laws we have. If you strip away the laws on the books right now, you wouldn't see much bickering here anymore.... I don't think any of us feel we have "moral authority" over anyone else..... we are actually the most downtrodden, either recreational or medicinal! Both camps are equally loathed by the healthy, happy, Reebok-wearing Golds-Gym-going Treadmill-wheezing Seven-habits-of-highly-effective-people-reading capital hill gang, so here we are.
Listen to Billy, he may just save your hide one day. He knows wtf he's talking about, and he is a champion for the suffering who's lives in some cases hang by a thread of relief.
Have a pain-diminished day everyone, no matter your intents, I wish you all well. Don't forget this is still one of the best-behaved boards on the net, so don't get down about arguments we have time to time. You woulnd't believe the drama that goes on elsewhere.
Bi-directional respect and behavior will keep us together.
