Bullshit ruling.
What happened to personal responsibility?
"It's not my fault I became an addict!"
Yes, because it's "never your fault."
Also, prosecutors calling no evidence or witnesses or victims... wins judgement.
Our entire court system is corrupted.

It IS pain management. How do I know? I've used everything up to hydromorphone for PAIN MANAGEMENT. I also went off them when pain management wasn't necessary anymore. These are important meds to many of us, but over use and addiction are making it hard for the people who actually need the help to get it.
Edit: is it a little too easy IN SOME PLACES to get opiates. YES. Is it a little too easy for the company to dismiss addiction and spread disinformation...HELL YES.
This is more about their marketing practices and incentive structures, and information dissemination.
I don't disagree with it actually.
