It's always struck me as sadly hilarious how the same crowd that's always shouting for drug laws is the exact same crowd that argues that stricter gun laws would increase crime and make the streets more dangerous.

- TylerE 3y agoStrong opioids are the only option that works for many people with chronic pain. In some countries (but not the US), heroin (technical name: diamorphine) is used for extreme pain, like late stage cancers. It truly is one of the most effective painkillers that exist - and it isn't unimaginably strong like fentanyl, so it's much harder to accidentally OD on when used medically.
