kay_mulanOpioids are opiates, medications made from the poppy, such as the common fentanyl patch, the antiquated seeming morphine that is the most heavily used opioids commonly facilitated by a morphine drip, and, including drugs like cocaine and heroin, are opioids which are opiates.
The two are interchangeable, or should be, in relation to America's Drug War and America's Drug Crisis.
"Opiate" is used to describe poetically what is considered an ameliorate through chemical means, for example alcohol.
Opioids are definitely described most often in conjunction with readily available medications nowadays, often in the form of pills.
There is no evidence to support that marijuana recreational use stems from the "gateway drug" of cigarettes.
There is no evidence to support that heroin users use opioids as the "gateway drug"
to "switch" from heroin to opioids.
Fentanyl patches are a common use and, before a Congressional report using fentanyl as a horrible, horrible supposedly newly-in in as a latest trend fad drug, is actually a generic name commonly used still by persons who are dealing with pain.
I am a person with twelve years of lupus where commonly a positive titer kills in two days after diagnosis. I am aware I am a walking miracle.
Somebody must have really not liked the company Jannsen Pharmaceuticals such that their Duragesic (Fentanyl Transdermic Patch), which looks like a clear small bandage size piece of plastic that is put commonly over the chest near the shoulder which typically lasts about twelve hours to keep people in pain from dying from pain, is suddenly the devil, "Fentanyl."
An opioid is a narcotic. Valium is an opioid. Oxycontin is an opioid. Another narcotic is cigarettes.
Marijuana happens to be the cure for cancer, among other things. Since no one Big Pharma can own all marijuana all over the world at all times, medical cannabis in any form is only allowed for 28 states and the citystate of Washington, D.C.
I have read that more Americans are more in pain now more than ever, from a medical journal.
But you should not be taking opioids which are prescribed unless a doctor prescribes them for you.
There was, revealed by The Los Angeles Times in 2015, a drug ring of siphoning opioid prescribable medications from all over the United States to primarily the Northwestern states of Oregon and Washington, including from Southern California.
Maybe doctors should hesitate to prescribe heavy opioids for all patients who ask for it, who may or may not be addicts.
Maybe all parents should know what their teenagers are imbibing always.
Maybe those diagnosed mentally ill should not be a scapegoat for America's failure to provide successful security for homes, businesses, and schools.
Maybe it's time for you to look up the resources peer networks such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon (for families of drinkers), and Narcotics Anonymous to see what they can do for you.
Belief in a higher power can result in abstinence from drugs.
So can literacy.
