I'm not trolling here.
The people I know who have been successful athletes developed as a result of discipline and hard work, not because of risk-taking, and certainly not to their own detriment.
Yeah, look, I staggered into the ER with a shattered collar-bone and a shitload of missing skin, and 10 mg of oxy had me feeling pretty much FINE while a nurse took a coarse sponge to scrub the asphalt out of my wounds.
Overprescribed, yes. Comparable to OTC? Absolutely fucking not. Claiming that ibuprofen is as effective as diluadid or morphine is completely disingenuous.
