Not just pain clinics. I went to an ortho for a bad shoulder. The doc offered them to me without asking. Granted, I did mention I can't take NSAIDs due to a bad stomach, but the pain is nowhere near the level that I'd require opioids. This happened about 2 months ago, so it's still easy to get them.
Truth be told, poppies are easy to grow. If I really wanted opioids I'd just grow them again. Yeah, it's not Oxy, but it does the job.

- 01100011 7y agoNah, just mixed the latex with baby aspirin and chased the dragon. I got to find out who my opiate addicted friends were when I did that, because they kept asking me about my garden for years after sharing the results with them. I thought it was OK, not amazing, but it definitely worked. I grew them accidentally after trying to compost some unused poppy seeds I bought at the grocery store.
