many of us dont realize the numbers involved in these types of deaths.
Last year, more than 30,700 Americans died from alcohol-induced causes, including alcohol poisoning and cirrhosis, which is primarily caused by alcohol use. (That's 84 people per day.)
and people who take opioids still have pain as well.
Drugs are not a cure all. If you are going to a quality dispensary they should be able to help guide you to what they can offer for your best chance of pain relief.
If you are getting it from the street see a doctor that specifies in MMJ.
I know guys that can work you and 5 others under the table
LOL at my age I wouldn't doubt it.
Fortunately I was wise with my money as I worked my ass off through life, Now I dont have to.
And as far as opioids being a better pain reliever than medical marijuana .. I totally agree.
We both know some people can't handle either. I've long ago learned Moderation in anything and these days that's very little of anything. mostly none of what once was. O the good old days of rainbows...lol
Somewhat related, and I'm mad about this, MondayI went to walk in clinic at local hospital for a bad cold and cough. Gave me an RX for weak ass cough med weaker than NyQuil, Coughed till my ribs hurt, over counter NyQuil helped. But the RX was not easy to make into meth so I ended up with less effective stuff,
Thanks, Had regular apt with my Dr scheduled Friday, clinic is staffed by Nurse Practitioners from his and another office, so I will gripe a little. Feeling a little better but very tired and just to make thing more fun I had to have blood drawn this morning,

That brings up another problem in our health care system--- there's often a tendency to treat the symptom without adequate attention to the underlying cause. (Sometimes when the symptom is alleviated that way-- and then new and different symptom appears. Over time it becomes like a game of Whack-a-Mole).)
A serious cough that should be treated at once. However, it can be a symptom of an underlying problem.
It kills about 90 Americans every day . . .
I had no idea there were that many killed every day!

Most Americans dont know that either.
And they do it to them selves.
perhaps alternative medications such as medical marijuana which kill no one per day should be looked at.
LOL yeah right, this is america with an anti-drug president... sorry just die.
Are you referring to medical drugs that have been proven to be safe as well as effective-- or dangerous "street drugs"?
Let’s see who to trust ? You ? Or these sources ?
And talk about agenda’s ….. Perhaps Kettle meet pot..LOL No pun intended (till written)
I dont.
Here a ink to lots of information trying to though.
recreational drugs, tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, pain pills when used as such..
The all rob society of productivity.
and people who take opioids still have pain as well.

you as well
and I was serious about a quality dispensary.
Especially these days with the genetics they are doing with different strains.
Good Luck ! Good Health !
How about we start doing away with all the drug commercials on TV.
The current crisis started in the 1990s with the over-prescription of painkillers like Oxycontin....
And for many an addiction to pills grew into a Heroin addiction.
we are surviving a lot of things that would have killed people before and we are living longer and often hurting more.
People do not like to hurt and if pain meds are taken away they will use what ever they can.
Maybe it is better to give them the pain meds than make them hurt or use other stuff

I don't trust walk in clinics. You might want to go see your doctor if it persists. It could be pneumonia.

A bad cold not flu is going around our area, lots of people sick, glad my regular apt was coming up
Having used Oxcy after a bad fall, I did not enjoy it at all. It let me sleep without pain but 1 oxcy pill and 2 ExLax
