| You have been indoctrinated and you are repeating propaganda talking points with zero basis in reality. There is NO DATA to support any of your claims. Because you have been indoctrinated you are probably at the point where no amount of evidence would convince you otherwise, a bit like a flat earther being flown into space to look at the planet. Nonetheless, we can try using some data. Here's a massive retrospective cohort study on 500,000(!) patients clearly demonstrating there is an absurdly low risk of addiction from legitimate prescriptions (0.5%): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29343479 Virtually no overdoses are from legal prescriptions, and virtually no addiction is from legal prescriptions. Abundant data and evidence shows this repeatedly. Now let's go ahead try your hysterical logic with some other issues: Why do people drink alcohol? It's because they're hooked on alcohol. How did they become hooked? They started drinking legally available alcohol! Sometimes they bought the alcohol, sometimes a family member or neighbor had the alcohol and it was handed on or stolen! The US is awash with alcohol! Or, let's take a legitimate crisis, the obesity epidemic. Why are people so fat? Why do people eat so much? It's because they're hooked on food! How did they become hooked on food? Because they ate food which is widely available! Maybe they ate food at a restaurant, or at home... maybe it was stolen or given to them! Look how many people are getting alcohol or food free from friends and family!! |
