[QUOTE="LittleWolf, post: 400998, member: 66893"] Well said ^ I though we already treated driving under the influence of drugs (pharmaceutical or otherwise) like driving drunk (DUI)? I know chronic pain and do not drive myself, though I'd like to, but it's hard to envision someone having popped Vicodin then being involved in an accident and not getting into trouble because it was prescribed. At the same time I understand Sid explaining progression and getting used to different classes of these drugs. Personally when I was first diagnosed with endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain (my joint and nerve pain up the legs/chest is still a mystery), after my IUD removal and every time I was admitted to hospital writhing in pain I was given Cocodamol, then tramadol then morphine which just made me violenty Ill, my chest got so tight I couldn't breathe and my heart rate went nuts. I tried to half dose the Cocodamol but the intoxicated, spaced out dizzy,'drunk' feeling I got was as distressing as the pain. I don't really know how someone. Could get used to that but some would say that about using cannabis daily and functioning. Even still I don't think I could trust myself with anything in my system if I could be a risk to other people around me, not just myself... It's a difficult one. Some people's jobs require them to drive. Then again plenty of accidents happen to totally sober drivers. Ok driving is dangerous, I have come to the conclusion no one should drive XP Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
