Villas - Yes, there are people who are addicted to opioids. However, did we all get them addicted? No! Did all of us cause them to have access to the opioids? Did all of us urge them to take the opioids? No! So why do we all have to pay to get them clean? How about some personal responsibility? How about some internal fortitude? You have to be smart about what you take. You have to decide that you will take pain pills only when in real physical pain, and then only until you can manage the pain with simple aspirin, weaning yourself by yourself. Enough with all of us being on the hook.
