Is diamorphine completely unavailable by prescription in the US? It's prescribed here in the UK, but only AFAIK for cases of terminal, severe pain. And in childbirth sometimes.

Giggy posted:I believe doctors should be able to prescribe Heroin to patients and addicts though. It’s sad this even though this is so obviously a rational technocratic response to the opioid crisis it’s just impossible for politicians to even talk about it. I hope that as marijuana legalization progresses it will inspire more people to question the fundamental assumptions behind the drug war.

Serfer posted:They might not be able to prescrible heroin, but they can prescribe fentanyl. Yeah, but they can't prescribe them to help with addiction recovery except for Methadone and Suboxone clinics. We should be using the term opiates because there is a justifiable stigma with Heroin -- it's a "dirty" drug and users have no idea what's in it. But the addiction to the opiate shouldn't be stigmatized. e: I wanna make clear that when I say we shouldn't stigmatize the addiction that I simply mean we should stop pretending that abuse of an opioid is somehow fundamentally worse than abuse of any other substance.

The only thing that will stop or slow the opiate epidemic is a radical restructuring of our society and economy. Life expectancy is dropping for some demographics in this country, almost exclusively in rural areas. It’s because they’re poor and have no prospects. If they were not poor and had prospects, the problem would solve itself. It’s literally that simple: people become addicts to alleviate the boredom and misery of their day to day lives. If you give them something more compelling, they get their usage under control on their own, typically. Rehab doesn’t work if the person comes out clean and lands in the same situation that drove them to use in the first place. But because we can’t speak honestly about how we got here and who oversaw the crisis we’ve made, we can’t address root causes. It sounds counterintuitive but it’s true; the way we chose to deal with the economic collapse of 08 drove an enormous spike in usage, because the way we dealt with it didn’t ameliorate the suffering of the people hardest hit. But that honest discussion ain’t happening, so let’s at least let people that we can’t admit were born to die in poverty do so in a fashion of their choosing.

Unfortunately, I feel the philosophy of many rehab programs is flawed because it focuses so much on mental health and not the material conditions of addicts. It's why I get a bit upset when people say "its a medical condition not a moral one" I want to scream "well it's a moral problem for society." It doesn't help that many psychiatrists and rehab counselors still say marijuana is a gateway drug and any substance use is bad except caffeine for some reason.

This study, the revelation in Gang Leader For A Day that the majority of crack users are recreational users with jobs who don’t smoke crack every day, and a few personal relationships and experiences all cemented my belief that every goddamn social problem comes back to the economic system we live under. No problem will ever be solved without addressing it, and the things we keep trying Are band aids. selec fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Dec 6, 2018 |

VitalSigns posted:So the plan is what, keep bombing the Middle East until they run completely out of people, because that's the only way you're reducing the number of terrorists by blowing up weddings and cafes. The reason they use drones now is that they are more precise than the previous options. The use of drones has likely reduced the number of casualties because they can be used with more precision than other options. Now it's all easy for us to sit on our high moral horse when we aren't having to make these decisions but it's the height of naivete to think that these decisions don't need to be made. Are there better options that would be more effective in dealing with threats of those who want to cause us harm? Yeah probably but in case you haven't noticed the American people don't exactly agree on much. If Obama had stopped the use of drones or had done any of the things that probably would have been more effective, it's very likely that he'd have only gotten one term and we'd have been stuck in whatever hell hole Romney's more competent evil would have wrought with his more competent and less blatantly obvious evil. People like to talk about how Carter was this horrible President, do you know why? It wasn't because he was lovely on any of the things the majority of posters itt care about. It was because he was seen as weak on defense. Because he was dealing with OPEC's bullshit causing fuel shortages and the Iranian revolution and the taking of the hostages and capped off with the failed rescue attempt. If Obama had shown the kind of restraint that you'd have preferred when it came to use of force he would have faced those same "weak on defense" attacks, hell he still faced them constantly and yet you are all pissed at him. Oh and it's never been about giving them more reasons to attack. it's always about disrupting their ability to attack us by decapitating their command structure and undermining their ability to operate and organize. The people who were being targeted were already wanting to attack us, they weren't targeting random people, they were targeting known agitators and leaders who were very much encouraging and organizing people to attack inside the United States. What would you have him ignore them, like W did in the lead up to 911? So we end up with another major foreign launched terror attack on American soil? Do you really think that a few targeted drone strikes would have been sufficient to sate the American public's thirst for blood after another 911 type attack? We already had two forever wars did you really want another? Because that's what that sort of thing would have resulted in. And even if you don't agree with what I'm writing, the basic fact is that most people do, particularly the people advising him on the issue and given that Obama isn't an expert on the military and counter terrorism he would obviously be giving more weight to their advice, you know the actual experienced professional. You may disagree with their advise, but for him to ignore it would have been a dangerous proposition both politically and from a national security perspective. Basically akin to saying that we should take the word of random chuds on the internet about climate change rather than you know climate scientists.

I like how "not do extrajudicial assassinations" is not even an option here, just what's the best way to kill people who might be bad guys. And if it hits the stray wedding or funeral? Well that's the price of Freedom! Like, do you realize that this poo poo is WHY we have "terrorists attacks", right? We could spend the equivalent money on aid and get better results.
