What say you freedom lovers? For personal recreational use?

Told my Doc I've not had that junk.
She said, you've had surgery,
you've had that junk.

Personally fentanyl saved my butt when I was first pur in the hospital, the pain I was in from infection in my chest was unbelieveable and after months unbearable, if you've broken ribs you have an idea it hurts too much to breath. As far as reccreation then hard no but unless you have truely hurted for extended time then those painkillers are a blessing iif not you're voice carries no weight

100% in favor of medical use. The question was precisely about recreational getting high on purpose issue.

Let evolution take its course theres nothing you can say or do to change peoples minds let freedom ring.

Leave as is.

Those are hardly recreational.

They wanted to give Diane morphine when she was in the hospital a few weeks ago. She refused to take it and had them give her something like ibuprofen instead.

As long as they are not driving, operating heavy equipment and would be charged extra if they are committing a crime while on it.....sure why not.

They gave me opiates when I had my hernia surgery I still have all a but 2 from the first day home in was not impressed nor did I want to be. The doc said they were not that strong I told him I have nothing to compare them to I don’t take drugs. LOL Pain is a part of living this lifestyle you just live with no easy way out for me.

Go ahead make them recreational.......but don't hand out ANY Narcan

Legalize everything and outlaw Narcan, let nature take it's course...!

This^^^ self solving problem. If you only look at surface level. Add in the homelessness increase and desperation to get high at all cost and crim that happens as a result, increase in drug babies ect. On one hand your not going to stop them, it cost a lot GOOD EXCUSE THAT GOT police forces militarized. and assets forfeiture crap on the books.

I still have to go on the side of freedom legalization.

Guys take opiates to get high and meth to have enough energy to drive around and steal stuff.

Instead of legalizing let's execute dealers.

Agree.

I'm fine if people want to buy and use Narcan, but it is not the taxpayer's responsibility. Also, we have laws for any crimes they commit when jacked up.

Someone said it yesterday--freedom can be messy.

I ,personally, favor a morphine drip with a IV Benadryl chaser. Having the nasal gastric tube inserted still sucked, but my apathy level was through the roof .

Both are opiates (one natural one synthetic, obviously). You can already buy opium poppy seeds (papaver somniferum is the poppy that makes opium )right off of Amazon, so if you're willing to put in the work, you can make your own opium.

Morphine and fentanyl are just stronger opiates compared to plain ol' opium, so sure, why not. Legalize em.


If they're suddenly legal, are you going to be tempted to try them?

Interesting thing I learned regarding opium poppies......in 1987, the DEA raided Thomas Jeffersons Monticello to remove the opium poppies that grew there. Opium poppies had been grown at Monticello continually since Jefferson lived there. (And yes, Jefferson used opium grown from his poppies).

No

I might grow a big patch of poppies when I retire. If for no other reason, it will keep the neighbors talking.

I tried opium once in college. ONCE. We bought it at a Phish concert. It was too good. I can see how the Chinamen got hooked on that stuff--never again for me.

Regardless, legalize it.

P.S. Interestingly, that is the first and only time I had an opiate. I have never had a pain pill.
