I could go on and on about this topic.....if someone wants to take the time and research how opiates were first founded and first put into the hands of pharmaceutical companies you will be shocked......most people know that almost all opiates are derived from heroin, or the poppy plant, or morphine....what most people don't know is that back in the early 1900's when scientists were figuring all this stuff out, they found that morphine was an addictive substance.....I think that's a given in everyone's brain. Well, fast forward to like 1950 or close to it, my brain is not good at remembering dates and names..lol, but around that time a company associated with morphine production, located in India, wanted to do a research study on how to make morphine non addictive....and to some researchers, they were successful and took their studies and findings to the united states.....from there, the story goes on to say that they pretty much were "paid" to keep their study silent.

I could go on and on.....my sister is an addictionologist....she deals with people that are addicted to opiates and she studies this topic almost to a sickening degree....she is obsessed with finding out why opiates have to be addictive and why people won't try and find non addictive forms of strong painkillers.....it's out there, but drug manufacturers don't want it, they make tons of money off people who will do anything to get more of their opiates, the powers that be understand that having non addictive pain killers is almost like having marijuana legalized for medical reasons....people will stop the opiates and drug companies will be forced to invest millions in finding other drugs....it's a sick and disgusting way to get rich for these drug CEOs but no one seems to care and the govt just let's them mass produce more and more of them everyday.

I'm done, rant over.
