I've seen that one and also recommend 'The Union'
I personally don't believe anyone should be left to openly use/buy/sell EVERY drug (BTT seems to be more generally against all prohibition) but definitely think drug use should be a healthcare issue not a criminal issue. Those abusing drugs with a lot of problems need those root problems addressed or their use reviewed instead of being locked up, the same way I believe sensible old ladies with glaucoma ought to be left to toke in peace
It's just mind-boggling when cannabis is illegal but opiate-based painkillers, the kind that many people become addicted to a die from using, are perfectly ok and easy to obtain
I was given a bunch for endometriosis pain (and an IUD that had perforated me which they MISSED on the ultrasound) and I've only ever felt so disgustingly sick having a hypo. Every time I am in hospital they do not listen and give me these painkillers, I've had morphine IV and it is not easy to run to the bathroom to throw up If you are in pain still and there is an equally painful cannula in your arm. Codeine at the recommended dose has made me throw up blood, which no one seemed concerned by at all... Having chronic pain is also an issue as those are not drugs you want to use long term.
Why is that OK but one of my doctors thinks I'm a dirty crack ***** for having half a joint when I'm in crippling pain?
