A very good childhood friend of mine has been growing small amounts papaver somniferum (opium poppies) in his back yard because it is much cheaper than prescription pain killers. He was injured in a car accident and has lived with debilitating pain most of his adult life.
- joshuapants 11y agoI'm curious, has he avoided opium addiction or is it just that the effects of addiction are less bad than his pain?
- fapjacks 11y agoWe have always generally been pretty responsible drug users throughout our lives, and so he knows how to avoid addiction, or to minimize its affect on him. Opioids are easy to escalate in dose and frequency, and for some years I was prescribed oxycodone for my pain, but I did not abuse it, because I had his help in avoiding addiction. I think education is the best tool to avoid this.
