It’s disgusting that psychiatric medication is lumped in with opiates by the DEA and subject to many of the same hamfisted policies.

- PraetorianGourd 4y agoOpiates are incredibly effective at treating debilitating pain. Not headaches, not toothaches, but overwhelming “please just kill me” pain. I take adderall with a prescription but I am not going to pretend that my psychological needs are somehow more worthy of medication than another’s pain. You want to get real angry? Cannabis and psilocybin are both schedule I drugs while cocaine is schedule II. I know cocaine has medical uses and is unfairly maligned, but still.
- catchnear4321 4y agoYou do yourself and others a disservice by treating physical pain as “more real” than the psychological pain that can be caused by simply not functioning the way one wants and knowing a restricted pill could help. Comparing one’s pain to another is meaningless, if the pain of both can be treated. Pain isn’t necessary. It is enforced.
