It is actually way better for 100 addicts to get their fix on pain pills than a single person in pain go without. I call this the "Torture is bad" principle. You should be able to get the good stuff forever after a single doctor's visit. If you're worried about addicts fund rehab centers and needle exchanges instead of torturing people.

#no no no you're right #being SICK is considered a moral failure #if it means you cannot work or look to be the standard of captilaist beauty/health #and work ethics #addicts are dehumanized and demonized as moral failings because its an admittance that #people are vulnurable to it #and because like chrinic health issues – you cannot just push through it and bootstrap yourself out #the effort needed to address both is too much for capitalist anything #and because disabled and chronically ill people are already dusregarded as moral failings #the demonization of addicts is considered reasonable to REFUSE sick people their meds #because in reality they dont want either group to live better lives #they want them to “suck it up” and work or they want them to die #the ableism around pain medications is just absolutely astounding #look around and see #leftism and learning #addiction #disability #also i just want to point out that refusing to helo addicts get safe fixes can literally kill them #withdrawals are incrediboy taxing on the body and so is unsafe consumption #if you want to suport addicts and helo them get clean(er) then giving them access to safe resources and rehab is the only thing #and chronically ill and disabled people shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get their medications regardless of any addict
