> We've known opiates were bad since at least the 1800s, and really longer than that. What the doc said was just what they needed to hear to lie to themselves, but this is taught in every highschool. I am not sure high schools are teaching people to be distrustful of their doctor’s advice. I think what’s being taught is about the dangers of illicit drugs, not those with a medical expert’s stamp of approval.
