You're uneducated. You still think it's about the drugs. It's not and it never has been. It's all about our individual and societal relationship with drugs. You are unaware that many, many people use once used chaotically or problematically, no longer do and are able to moderate. WHy because they have finally dealt with the trauma, the protaganist in their relationship with painkillers and distractors. Her path is none of your business. You don't know what's best for her, you just know what's best for you. Comments like yours are unneccesary and actually do more damage than what you're criticizing. Finally your POV comes from believing the disease model which is only accepted not something proven and does more damage than help. If I were you I'd rad everything there is to know on what you don't agree with and become more educated. One more thing, do you ever remember anybody publically criticizing someone's cancer treatment?
