Think of it this way
When they die off, our expectancy goes up

The problem isn't a drug company conspiracy
It's the fact that, pound for pound, there is no pain medication as effective as opiates yet available for human consumption.
Sure, a lot of pain can be managed by therapy, but stretching and exercise aren't going to deal with the pain of say, burns or surgery.
There are a few new pain killer methods being researched, an a sodium channel blocker based off the mechanism that causes certain people to feel literally no pain at all ever.
But the same tardmongers that call for strict testing and eval are the same tardmongers that bitch it now takes decades and hundreds of millions of dollars to get a med through to human trials.
Not counting the hundreds of billions that go in to R&D, production, and distribution that have to be recoupped at the minimum
Half the reason the medical field still pushes opiates is because there's nothing better that's legally allowed yet.
And believe me, the first company to get an effective non-opiate painkiller on the market is going to DOMINATE it for the next several decades at least.
Bruh
Surgery pain is awful
I recall the Va trying to drown my ass in opiates
I had to fight for physical therapy
The VA is a whole 'nother can of bullshit
And it still sucked
Because I had turned down said opiates
Yep
Like opiates for a week or two after a major injury and/or surgery is fine
But after that you should be doing PT to deal with the pain
I cannot recall but they wanted me on something stronger full time
stronger than oxy? Fuck me you'd have been out of your gourd.
No I remember now. Oxy was the initial push to be my base pill. Which ironically was what they gave me post op in the USMC so to have that for pain management is overkill
I ended up on vicodin for a year.
Fuck that shit
Niggas wanting to kill my kidneys
Soda gonna do that for em haha
This was in 14 prior to the opiate reform in the VA
Now they fight just to issue vicodin
The VA just needs to be gutted and replaced
So reverse of the original problem
Such a shitty fucking system
Too giving to too stingy
I finally got upgraded to 20% for a fucked hip and knee
It was knee-ded
kys
After three rounds of PT I can live relatively pain free unless I gain too much weight.
Anyways yeah. The FDA will hopefully get behind blockers that circumvent the need for current traditional medicine.
Thus allowing for restructuring. Then we can hope for aids and herpes cure lmao
Like I said, some big brain niggas figured out how that one gene mutation works that blocks all pain, and replicated it in tests.
