My position is exactly as stated - everyone should have a well-founded fear of opiates considering the countless lives they've destroyed. That doesn't mean they should never be used for pain management, but that anybody who uses them should be very cautious knowing full well the addiction it can cause, and to use them as sparingly as possible. Also, opiates are massively over-prescribed.
