You know how your parents come to visit, or you’re at their house and you happen to go in their bathroom and you’re like “holy shit, there’s a mountain of pills up in here”?
Well, I’m here to tell you that this reality may one day become totally super real for you too. I’m generally a “cupboard is bare” kind of guy, yet even I am looking at a core pack of relafen, ibuprofen, eye drops, ear drops, allergy pills, fiber pills, vitamins, and kratom. The only reason I don’t have oxycodone too is because millions of irresponsible, impulse control-deficient Americans went hog wild with opiate meds 20 years ago. Why is this still relevant when fentanyl is so much stronger and cheaper? But no , I have double hernia surgery and STILL have to sit through a condescending lecture from my surgeon on the dangers of addiction.As it turns out, I didn’t even need the narcotics for my post-surgery recovery. Ibuprofen and Tylenol were actually pretty effective. So now I have this extra bottle of Oxycodone pills. !!!!!!!!!!!!! LFG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
