It is sad that society has gone into such a protectionist stance. In our great grandfathers day you could buy opiums and cocaine you name it. Now everything is so locked up heaven forbid someone abuses drugs. The problem with a useless drug like this is people won’t get the desired effect and start compounding more drugs into their system. Like what I had to do with an abscesses tooth. I don’t abuse drugs, I no longer drink and don’t smoke marijuana I don’t even drink coffee anymore. But when my tooth went bad all I was allowed was Acetaminophen and ibuprofen which didn’t even come close to touching the pain. So I took extra acetaminophen and ibuprofen anyways despite the risks out of desperation. Then I started using copious amounts of oral gel tooth numbing medicine which has benzocaine I believe which can also increase heart rate I believe. I was so desperate for any form of relief while I waited to get to the dentist that I was forced to abuse anything I could get for relief that one narcotic medication would have easily treated. I have often wished I could return unused narcotics I have been given to show the doctors “look I’m returning drugs I don’t have an abuse problem I only use them for pain control please continue being generous with them in the future”.
