[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh.  So much sympathy now that the victims are white.

Drug addicts are drug addicts.  [/quote]

I have zero sympathy.  Taking drugs is a conscious choice just as drinking us.  [/quote]

I just don't think this is altogether true. I took heavy, heavy narcotics for over a year when I had cancer. Numerous surgeries and procedures left me in significant pain for many, many months. I was on Oxy, Norco, Fentenyl, etc.  I hated the way the drugs made me feel, but they did relieve the pain. I never felt "high". Just jumpy and irritable and angry. I had no desire to take the medication for any reason other than severe pain.

My best friend was in a minor car accident and was prescribed 60 Lori-tab for pain.  She became addicted almost instantly. She was a teacher with a wonderful husband and two great kids. She was arrested for forging a prescription and went to rehab for four months.

I think some people have addictive personalities. I think narcotics affect different people in different ways. My son had Orthopaefic surgery several months ago. I have a medicine chest full of extra Norco that he didn't need. Like me, he hates the way it makes him feel. He won't become an addict because he doesn't get the type of high that addicts get.
