@colleenyoung I am not familiar with the National Institute on Drug Abuse, so I don't know how much credence to give to it. If you want to make a distinction between dependence and addiction, that's fine. True, morphine is not the same as heroine. Is that your point? You can write your congresspeople if you want. This is my first day and I'm quickly beginning to think this is a waste of my time.

@mwcates So You make a post about us all being addicted if we use pain medication, yet you’re unwilling to consider looking at truly a accredited site/resource that might contradict your personal opinion? Perhaps you were in the wrong site

Hi @mwcates, the National Institute on Drug Abuse is part of the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of health & Human Services https://www.nih.gov/ It's a great resource of evidence-based information. Along with Mayo Clinic and CDC and other reputable sites, NIH is one of my go-to websites. Happy to have introduced you to it.
I commend you for focusing your pain reduction on painting, writing, reading, etc. We have quite a few artists here on Connect. Have you seen this discussion?
