that's a stupid answer. I think there are massive opiate scenes in Eur. too, i think that's why they have heroin(not methadone) clinics in swtiz. But i don't know how it relates to the USA. Probably has a lot do with american culture.
Because we are all part of an empty soulless nation that the whole world hates... I'm pretty sure 80% of Florida is on them.
Well for sure the Florida pain clinic explosion of 2008 and 2009 had alot to do with whats currently going on. The state fo Florida dispensed X number of Opiates in 2009, which came up to more than all other 49 states combined. Thats a bunch of pills. 92 of the 100 doctors who dispensed the most oxycodone pills in 2009 were located in Florida. You will NOT see that happen in 2011. As of 1 Jan 2011, Florida finally catches up to most other states as far as perscription medicine monitoring. The days of 240 roxy 30s, 180 roxy15s along with 120 2mg Xanax on a monthly script for a pain patient are coming to an end. Until Sat, there hasnt been any monitoring.
Its because of the healthcare system. Doctors handing out thousands of scripts and getting patients completely dependant. Its all about making money. They know that the people buying these pills will keep buying them if they turn them into junkys, so thats what they do. Drive nieve people into a full on dope habit in the name of monehhh
Money driven, absolutely. That is the single factor driving all the pain clinic opening during that timeframe. Today, they locked up 5 people in my city, held a new conference stating in the 7 month period this particular clinic these people operated was open, then wrote scripts for over 2.4 million pills, in 7 fucking months. they were seeing 225 patients a day. WTF!!!
There is a big heroin/opiate scene in Europe,USA, Canada, Australia, Asia etc..In the US It is definetly big Pharm pushing pills on people ,example the original OC's, thn when people get hooked even when taking the shit as prescribed the DEA scares the legit. doctors into cutting people off, and many turn to heroin. When I was in high school in the early 90's there was no OC's and I knew maybe 5 people who ate some hydrocodone or percocets now and then. In 2005 1/2 the high school kids I knew or knew of were buying OC's or whatever they could get. Weed,coke, and even meth were big in my high school days. Now pain meds and meth are the #1 drugs.Plus Xanax and Benzo's,prescription opiates are far more available and popular than weed and all the other drugs were combined in my high school days. And now a lotta the kids turned to heroin becasue pain meds are more scarce than five years ago or whatever. A whole generation is gonna end up on heroin that switch from pharm. opiates when they are too expensive or unavailble.. Crazy shit,it's all about the money for sure!! I wonder if big pharm companys and the DEA have a joint plan to get people hooked on pain meds,then take them away and the DEA or CIA or some government agnecy sells the heroin.
I personally find the opioid high to be the pinnacle of experience, even if that sounds ridiculous. I have a feeling many other people who tried opioids have thought the same and became addicted as well.
i remember the good old days when 10 milligrams would make me a pipe running fool at work, 200-300 feet in a a day, with matching rolling offsets, quick nod at coffee break, and a longer nod at lunch, just makes everything more enjoyable.....whenever i see on the meds when it says "these may be used for other uses not listed" i really think that opiates could be used as a anti depressant, lol!!!!! my cpu is down so on my gurls laptop, just thought id stop in for my first post of the new year, happy new years to all, stay up!!!!!!
yep yep, i love running pipe!!!!!! i have learned my trade well, and take a ton of pride in my work!!!! Union too!!!! unemployed ATM tho.....lol
Opaite are very pleasurable, at first at least. Until your tolerance goes up, and then you have trouble finding enough pills to satisfy your needs. Then many turn to heroin, becasue oddly enough in most places heroin is much cheaper than most pharm. opaites,now more than ever, and the heroin in my area is pretty strong powder stuff. For what some people spend on 2 or 3 OC 80's at $1 a mg in many places, crazy to pay that but they do, you can buy a couple of grams or more of really good heroin for the same price! Now with these OP oxycodones and the feds cutting down on pain clinics in some areas, they masses seem to be floating towards heroin, if they can find it, or they continue to pay ungodly prices for pharm. opaites. .lol..Big Pharm and Colombian heroin cartels must be in business together these days in some form or fashion. Big Pharms doctors write out the scripts and get people hooked on presciption pain meds, then cut them off or get their license taken away or something by the DEA and Colombia has an ample supply of heroin waiting,as does Mexico.
I think it is quite simple: Opioids are one of the few (debatably the only) drugs that directly target both the reward/desire pathway and the satisfaction/pleasure paths. They are distinct note. Amphetamine/cocaine/etc. are pure reward drugs. Drugs like Cannabis, some tranquilizers (barbituates/benzos) are partially satisfying drugs. In my theory, the pure satisfying drugs are antipsychotics strangely enough. Take 20mg Zyprexa and you will understand. Opioids offer both, fully, at the same time. Pharmacologically speaking, more reasearch needs to be done on their mechanism of action. They have shown its "liking/reward" action, but work needs to be done on the satisfaction aspect. The only other drugs that could possibly fit this role are the MDMA-like drugs or the serotonogenic psychedelics, but I haven't used either, so I am not sure, as I doubt their "reward" potential since they are not addictive in most senses.
