Watch a few youtube vids on the opioid epidemic in this country. Some of them are the 'drug addict type' but some are normal people that started with just one dose for some innocuous sounding reason and now they're full blown addicts. No thank you.
Exactly! Also, I think Americans have a problem accepting that pain is part of living. It's a quick-fix-in-a-pill culture which also explains the rise of SSRIs and ADHD meds which are being overprescribed. In my country, Japan, people can only get access to morphine in a hospice as a terminally-ill patient. America should be the same way and it wouldn't have the opioid crisis it had now.
