Did you read my response where i said "like you later said" then went on to list another life threatening issue with opioids, as well as your statement that it's a pretty safe drug is actually very wrong when you compare its side effect and safety profile to the vast majority of drugs on the market?
- nullymcnull 13y agoMy apologies, for both my tone and for overlooking your reference back. I think 'vast majority' of drugs is overstating it a bit, but still - I very much understand where you're coming from and do not disagree. I regret saying that "Opiates are actually quite safe, as drugs go." I think it has some validity in it's hastily-written context, mostly concerned with countering the article author's cluelessness on his subject. In moderate dosage and without mixing substances, it's basically true - though I'm admittedly coming at it from the perspective of a long-time recreational drug user, hardly that of an upstanding mentor to the young and impressionable here. It's obviously a reckless thing to say in any context, and I would certainly hope that no-one takes it as guidance.
