That's the one. I believe US pharmaceuticals are trying to develop another drug to wean the addicts off it, which will then need a replacement and so on and so forth.
Need them solid gold toilets.

Thread is now about opioids for those banned on BigOpi
Now that it's been found that phenylephrine is a massive dud, it's right back to good old pseudoephedrine for me!

Oh man, you only just discovered that? I flash my driver's licence to the chemist at the first hint of a sniffle.
I'm always behind the trends when it comes to self-medication.
OK, slightly more lucid now. Was in so much pain when I woke up they shot me up with as much fentanyl as possible and frankly, I don't see what the junkies see in it. Took hours to work. If I could have spoken more than the word "pain" I'd have demanded opium.

Geez, that's no good Trucko. Hope the recovery proceeds smoothly from here.
How do you know opium is so choice?
I'm working on the number of addicts in the 18th century. With all of the other drugs they could get then, including cocaine for babies, they chose opium. Must be good.

While on this subject, I was recently approved for category 2 and 3 medicinal marijuana for back pain.
Cat 2 is CBD oil, basically no psychoactive ingredient, whereas cat 3 is oil in a 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC.
Everybody's individual experience will differ, but mine was one of 'WTF is all the fuss about?' The CBD oil did very little to relieve any pain, whereas the cat 3 stuff left me nauseous, dizzy, spaced out and sleepy AF. I'm left wondering what the big deal is with cannabis.
Category 4 is the actual flower stuff, but unless someone can tell me that the experience is a lot better, I won't be bothering.

Well you get to add cotton mouth to the above symptoms if that floats your boat?

Anyone watching the Scott Pilgrim show on Netflix?
I only saw the movie - which was okay, just a bit of fun I guess. Never read the books that are obviously very popular. The show is pretty cool so far.

Watch 'Painkiller' on Netflix, was really good and shows how that whole Oxycontin problem came to be
If you haven't seen it, it's a good laugh

Sounds like a really good concept - will definitely check it out.

Was great fun. The soaking scene will be in my long term memory for a while.
Even better, the non-actor seems like a decent guy and the show definitely would have been vastly different (for the worse) if the non-actor adjusted and reacted poorly to the set events. I read somewhere that the show creators had to carefully vet hundreds of potential people to select someone with the right psychological profile to deal with the events and the reveal.
Just back from seeing "Napoleon" at the cinema...meh...was watchable ,but....meh

He's 21. 17 is on the cusp of inappropriate, but not terrible.
