Ugh, not you again sorry, that woman

Uh huh.

I thought they just had a really obnoxious bird

Kleavers it's a bullshit excuse. Companies don't want it because it's cheaper than a lot of alternatives like hemp or oil for treatment

we should be glad. though weed should be legalized, the better drugs are the ones you can get legally. that shit gets you way higher than weed does. obviously with worse side effects but tis the price

that's cos they need an excuse to throw black people in jail, and make them provide slave labour

and people can grew it by themselves....

+Hrishi Telcontar black people and white people use marijuana at the same rate. the law isn't targeting blacks. the law is just there and by default, cops target blacks over whites for any crime.

I mean, it is.

That is actually the exact reason I became an addict. I mostly smoked weed and started drinking at 21, but a "point" or even a half gram of heroin was technically cheaper and longer lasting than either of those. So, financially, it made more sense to take up dope. Obviously that was stupid and it got exponentially more expensive, but initially it's what got me interested.

Comments section: 1% - people discussing various aspects and consequences of opioids consumption 99% - laughing lady

Far cheaper. I coukd trade my bottle of pain meds 2 weeks worth for 5 weeks worth of fentanyl and heroin and 1 bottle of liquid methadone which i got thrown off of with no warning even though i never abused drugs. Then while in severe withdrawal from tapering so fast someone taught me how to some some black they had and i smoked it up until 5 months ago when i found someone thst had methadone then a subutext hook which i prefer to suboxone. The naloxone as small amount as it is in suboxone.hurts my stomach snd subutext helps with pain and eliminstes cravings but if i could have one 70mg methadone bottle per day for life i know i would be genuinely more.happy.and stable person who can enjoy doing everything love. Methadone fot SOME people can be a miracle drug but subutext works best for the majority as long as they dint have severe pain even then it helps a bit

I mean that’s why people use it. If you were addicted and you had the choice, why would you pick something more expensive, less effective, with worse side effects (track marks) AND is likely cut with bullshit that could kill you if done incorrectly (fentanyl)? Opioids are the gateway to heroin, and you cross that line only when you no longer have a way to afford prescription opioids.

Thank you for saying something about those of us with chronic pain that need some form of these types of medication and can use them responsibly. Like so much in America this isn't an either-or discussion but one that requires nuance.

Yes. So many people are suffering needlessly. Last November Fentanyl was reclassified on the same level of PCP, LSD etc. Deemed no use for medical purposes. Imagine the ppl with chronic pain, in a pandemic right before Christmas now have to immediately come off one the strongest pain relievers on the market. I was one. Luckily I knew this was coming because I used to work in the industry so I was able to prepare with a slow taper. But I can't imagine the people who's 2020 year ended even worse.

This was the comment I was looking for. Thank you! 🐈💜😸 I have a rare genetic connective tissue disorder called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS). I’m born with very little cartilage & what I’m born with my body can’t repair. Also, the very disorder that causes my pain makes me resistant to anesthetics & pain medication. I have multiple dislocations a day. One dr told me I should be used to the pain of joint locations by now. I never know what joint will dislocate. As I sit here my fingers are screaming just from the daily things one has to do with ones hands. I have no cartilage left in my knuckles plus bone spurs on most knuckles from the bones rubbing on each other. I also have severe osteoarthritis in most of my joints. Without pain medication I would not be able to care for myself. I’m 45. My family barely helps take care of me now, without pain meds I would have probably killed myself by now just from the pain. The local pain clinic took _all_ their patients off opioids & put them all on some sort of behavioral therapy. The rate of suicides in their patients skyrocketed. They hired a therapist & started asking everyone at every appointment if they felt suicidal. Thankfully my internist controls my pain meds & understands that something like hydrocodone won’t work, at all, & I’ll need to take it more frequently due to my natural resistance. I still do everything I can to avoid the ER.

I have bad nerve pain after multiple spine surgeries and all they gave me was 30 5mg roxys...it takes me 5 minutes just to get into bed without medication and I'm screaming the whole time. Thank goodness for poppy sead tea. Unwashed poppy has helped me tremendously

@ricksteves3426 My Central Nerve Pain is the result of several spinal trauma in my childhood. The pain started chronically when I was nearly 17 in 2002, when pain doctors were handing out opiates like candy. I started out on 100mcg of Fentynal, and 21 years later, the most I need to get through the day is around 30mg of morphine, but that's due to more spine surgery, a small heart attack that made methadone dangerous for my heart, and a life expectancy notice of about two years. I'm sure I'll have to up the dose before the very end, but I'm happy to deal with a bit of pain and a low dose of morphine every day (those 30mg come in either 7.5mg every 4hrs or 15mg every 12hrs, usually a mix of both).

Edifon oj I was just thinking the exact same

They're all hacks, otherwise they wouldn't have the platforms they do. 19 minutes 22 seconds, and not 1 mention of Afghanistan. The driving force behind this surge of heroin in our country and others. Not 1 mention.

Didn't mention Kratom, which is getting pushed back to being a schedule 3 drug because it has powerful, opoid like pain killing properties, but it's not an opoid, it's just a smokable plant, this pisses me off as it was responsible for lowering opoid deaths by offering a legal alternative without the possibility of overdoses.

He also doesn't really give Hillary as much trouble as she deserves, yes, she's better than trump, yes, I hope Trump doesn't win against her, but good lordie christmas when he addressed Stein last week the only one of her issues that he took her down on was the quantitative easing one, and the other was a linguistic used by scientists that she adopted. Since she's not in the field of researching autism or vaccine effects, "I'm not aware" is the scientifically appropriate response. And, next to a No-fly zone, which has been addressed as requiring a war with both Syria and Russia, and Clinton admitted would "Kill allot of Syrians", having a country album about environmental and social concern is just great, actually. It also goes to show that HBO is a substantial source of donations in Clinton's campaign, so while our options are terrible, really, we should have had Sanders as an option to trump Trump, as well as to ensure a less war-like, less self-enriching president coming up.

The only thing that pissed me off about this video is that he didn't mention Kratom. The DEA is trying to make it a schedule 1 drug it hits the opioid receptors in a different way than opiates. Withdraws are similar to getting a cold for most and only lasts a week usually, some do get pretty bad withdraws but it's nothing like heroin or most opiate withdraws. It helps with pain reduces anxiety keeps you focused for me it's a fucking miracle medicine you don't nod your not out of it your just you but a calm more focused you. Thousands have used kratom to get off of heroin and pain meds it has saved countless lifes. But does John mention it no and thats what pisses me off.

True. If it was blacks, it'd be blamed on blacks.

Sad but true

And what's sad is that the opioid crisis hurt POC and white people.

Truth

In the 90’s, we had the “crack something” that impacted urban ghettos almost exclusively. Crack Edemia? No that’s not it.... Crack Epicenter? No, still not right. Crack Evian? Ok, someone help me out.

I currently had surgery on my toe because I stubbed it and nothing worked until he gave me oxycodone so shut the fuck up. You are supposed to give the patients are prescribed.

Riordan Parata not true actually. I’m legally responsible for anything I give, even if a doctor orders it. You’re knowledge of the medical field seems archaic. You’re so quick to jump to hostility over a simple post that I think you missed my point, and it makes me wonder if you might not have developed an addiction yourself you’re not willing to acknowledge yet (hence your quick jump to brash aggression). Over prescribed pain meds are a serious issue in our country, and as a nurse I was there to witness it. Also, I have to wonder why you’re tolerance was so high. Most people without any opioid tolerance are knocked out from a low dose norco O_o

I've been denied appropriate pain relief from a painful neurological disorder and my life exists between the couch and bed. I'm forced to live in agony because there's a fortune to be made in denying pain relief to those of us with broken bodies. Not every pain patient is an addict -- the worst addiction I've seen is powerful people who are addicted to profit! Give us our opioids, give us our lives back, and stop trying to protect us from ourselves. America went through one disastrous attempt at Prohibition a century ago. Why are we trying it again, with even worse results?

@@krisaaron5771 there’s no profit to be made from denying pain medication. You’re being denied because the government is cracking down on doctors prescribing pain medication and they can’t legally justify prescribing them to you. The pain meds won’t take your pain away-just temporarily mask it. You will get a tolerance for it quickly and dependence. Then you will still have your pain and poison withdrawal on top of that-which will just make everything worse. Opioids are dangerous. We bred a nation addicted to them. We are trying to correct that problem now. Sorry about your neurological problem, but opioids wouldn’t even be the ideal medication to deal with a neurological pain.

This is a sad part of the world and it makes me angry that this isn't more widely known

Also, opioid addicts should be allowed to buy opioids at pharmacies at reasonable prices, (and be covered by insurance) not be forced into the black market where they end up in debt to dangerous people in order to obtain crap that was cut with rat poison.

The procedure i am familiar with is that recovering cancer patients are weened of in an clinical setting (lower and lower dosage applied over drip)

@Binky D'Eath I never bothered to look what they use, know only that it is an mixture of drugs that is given over very slow drip twice daily for about 2 hours each and success rate is very high (given you have people who return to intact social situations mostly the reason i guess)

​@Binky D'Eath How you got the idea that i do not take pain serious and people who need opiates to survive serious is behond me, I said that in europe you treat people in an hospital for removal from opiates, AS SOON THEY DO NOT NEED THEM ANYMORE. That makes to me much more sense than just cutting them off. I had an inflamation of the incestines and it was decided that the side effects of opiates where to dangerous so i had to do without, anyone who had that once can tell you that yes, you want to die NOW. So yeah, i know "kinda" about pain.

Brad Beining I'm sorry this country is so upside down and that had to happen to you. Hope you were able to find help and get clean man.

That's because you had a shitty doctor. I went through the same thing and they helped me get off of them with acupuncture and other homeopathic stuff. The Doctor/Practice can make a world of difference.

Daddy D 3 years now.thanks

Brad Beining Congrats. I celebrate 4 myself today on the dot.

Ya there is a huge range of how these affect people. Some people have a lot harder time and then there are lucky people like me who don't get affected by addiction. Though its not that lucky if you consider my body adjusts so quick after just couple weeks the drugs barely affect me at all so I have do just deal with any pain that lasts longer than that. It also means I have take higher doses of certain things which is more dangerous. Oxycontin By 3rd week I had to up to 3 pils to be affective so i said fuck it and threw out the bottle and just delt with the pain of a broken jaw. In surgeries doctors have to use higher amounts of knockout gas and i would still end up waking up and they would have to increase it to put me back out. Didnt even get high from Marijuana when I was in college, Dont like the feeling of being drunk at all so dont drink especially after 1 year of going to bars I got tolorent to the point where I could drink half a bottle of taquilla before I even started to feel it, Too damn expensive so thats probably biggest reason stopped drinking haha soon as i felt the hurt in the bank, just trying to pick up some bar slut wasnt worth it hahaha

that story is bs. they dont dose for weight.

@Kaptain Kid wait what are you on about? If you consider something prescribed for pain everywhere and has just now been relegalized in the US "using" then you're honestly just an ignorant fuck. Weed has helped my mom get off opiates and heroin but she's still suffering from permanent damage. Weed is a god damn miracle and the reason she's still around.

Kaptain Kid name checks out

I'm Dutch and we have drug-legalisation (officially it's 'reluctant acceptance' and not legalisation) for certain ones. I believe those are Hashish, weed, (some people want xtc legalized, since it makes people cuddly and happy and it's already widespread being used, so it'dgo against illegal/wrong produce) mushrooms, and anything calming, which would probably also be opiods then. I know two people that are addicted (in a common way, not a drug-seeker way, they live at home, they're just miserable because of the growing cocktail) that were prescribed too many pills and have a great fear of stopping the process gradually. I don't know people personally that are on opiods or addicted that live on the street or..youknow, go to great lengths to get them. I googled how our situation is, and it says this; (I´ve translated two seperate websites here.) "In the beginning (in the Netherlands) opiods were prescribed to people that were on the brink of death and in a lot of pain. Despite the fact that it is forbidden in the Netherlands to advertise heavy medication (prescribed ones, anything other than vitamins and the 250 gram Aleve Feminax type stuff)we had a bit of an opiodscrisis ourselves, it has already subsided a bit, but there's still reason to worry, because there are still people addicted to the opiods aftet the treatment has already finished. They're talking about combining weed and opiods and thereby keeping the amount of opiods low, or combining it with paracetamol. And about giving enough painkillers for 1 week after a hip-operation and not assuming the patient needs a month's worth of opiods. Since 2019 the opioid-prescriptions by doctors, has been declining again with 6%. But 5 to 10% of the thousands of people getting it prescribed, will become addicted and that's why it's still such a worry. Marcel Bouvy (pharmacutical university blahblahblah) "We were on time to prevent American situations from happening, but it is still a serious problem in the Netherlands. The tip of the iceberg will end up in addiction-clinics, but besides that we still have a large group of people who have been using these substances for years and are having difficulties getting rid of it."

its HBO not national tv

Right, but the LWT UKposts channel always edits out the f-word for some reason.

They dont have to its just considered normal by the older demographic. So a lot of company's still censor words so they can reach the widest market. You will find a lot more things left uncensored as time goes on as the elderly die off. On the flip side being overly PC will see a rise as the younger generation has a huge thing for being PC.

Being politically correct has everything to do with not marginalizing people (I'd say minorities, but unfortunately even women are regularly targeted). It does not however have anything to do with the anti-cussing puritanism the US suffers from.

Fent, oxy, and other opioids ARE legally available and widely prescribed. That's why we are in this mess.

don't forget that there's also tons of long term chronic pain sufferers who actually need and benefit highly from the proper usage of these drugs who get a fair bit of quality of life from them and do not abuse them recreationally. the benefits far outweighs the potential harm for them. so do not be so quick to throw the baby out with the bathwater while trying to correct these terrible issues surrounding these medications.. one blanket solution does not work for or is needed for all.

Sgtspork I do agree that there are definite benefits and quality of life to many people. I apologize for omitting that side of prescription medications. Sadly, I deal with the darker side of them & tend to dwell there. I did not mean to discredit their benefits when used properly. Thank you for correcting me.

ada a Although this is good in theory, the reality is that there will still be black market drugs. This is why fentynol is available via prescription but also created in bathtubs. Greed supercedes.

I have had to counsel families whose grief is overwhelming. I just pray a solution.

Viruses and bacteria are two different things. Antibiotics are used to fight bacteria and antivirus is used to fight viruses. I would stay and explain, but just google it.

Mikey Mouser ya that's one A.C.E. usually you'd have 2 or 4 tho

"I can't even begin to tell you how much that has fucked him up" - uh, you just did.

Jeez, you're a really sensitive person, aren't you?

My brother started taking heroin after he used prescription drugs as a teenager. He ended up killing a man and is now in jail. I'm pretty sure when he gets out again in 2 years he will probably start taking heroin again and probably die of an overdose at some point.

Spoutnik her laugh is killing me

Is that a layover sound effect or real people laughing, i wonder. i often hear repetitive familiar laughs tones.

It's allowed: she's an endangered species. Thankfully.

I noticed the seagull, I feel sad for the seagull’s partner.

B. Kirkpatrick Watching this as a former addict with an amputated arm and broken back is something else. The CDC guidelines FUCKED EVERY legitimate pain management patient. It's sending legitimate patients on to the street drugs, increasing overdoses. I never thought I'd be cheering for the Pharmaceutical Lobbyist, but after reading The President's Opioid Panel Review I sure am! I legitimately hope everyone that wrote it gets a horribly painful debilitating injury.

B. Kirkpatrick god bless

Watching this as a stoner who gets high on only cannabis who would never poison my body with shitty opiates is somthing still extremley moving because i have so much empathy i prolly feel more for the average user than they can feel for themselves because i have sensitive body mind and soul which is why i would never do that shit in the first place. *dab*time, good luck getting clean/healthy...

Christobanistan are you an idiot?

There is an interesting trend in that the vast majority of the people arguing against Oliver call people assholes and write 'fuck' a lot. I'm not sure what this says about you people as a whole, but I think many comment writers would find your arguments much more convincing if you didn't insult them at every fucking turn. Me, I don't give a shit if you take this argument to heart, so I can and will insult you.

I feel like that lady is in every episode and she annoys the crap out of me.

Daniel Bras Shut up, baby, I know it! ;)

she needs her medication

In my view extremely important to most western countries: accept that people need love and understanding, not judgement, and more separation from people

Or we could do like the Philippines and just murder anyone that sells drugs because fuck it drugs are bad mmmkay

ryan green what i hear about the phillipines and thailand is that people there seem to be very happy even though they dont own much money. My comment is more about social behaviour than drugs that you are relating too

There is an unspoken, cultural agreement that needing to be loved, or some form of social intimacy, is something shameful or should just be ignored.

It's the private prison industry that pushes for tough punishments on anything they can get away with. When there is a big injustice in the United states, it almost ALWAYS goes back to one thing: profit.

That's what worries me with these opioids stories. I had a terrible car accident in 1991. Nerve damage in my right side from my neck to my hip. Back then they gave you so many drugs. I was on Vicodin ES, two muscle relaxers, Valium an anti-inflammatory. After a couple of months of not knowing where the hell I was half the time, I told my doctor I wanted to do physical therapy and get off of this medication. That was almost thirty years ago. I am now prescribed 3 10mg Norco per day. That's it. I do my stretching exercises daily and keep my weight down. I reduced my pain medication from 320 Vicodin ES pills a month to 90 Norco. Worked 2 jobs all that time, raised my son alone, took care of my home. But even though I have a 30-year record of NOT abusing my medication, my new doctor in my new state refuses to issue me any. I am being treated like an addict, which infuriates me. They have to stop lumping hydrocodone in with heroin and fentenyl. They are vastly different. I, on my own, got off most of my meds by requesting and doing physical therapy. I reduced my pain meds..on my own...by 65%. 30 year history with same doctor. In my opinion, I am the poster child for responsible drug use. But when I try to find a doctor who will continue a treatment that has been highly successful for 30 years, which is the only thing allowing me to remain self sufficient and working ...the doctor tells me to apply for disability. Wtaf? The doctors need to keep a watchful eye on their patients and prescribe in their best interests. The government needs to let the doctors decide what is best for their patients.

the way you describe what you're going through, it really moved me. I hope you are doing ok.

I hope you’re doing ok

How are you doing now? I hope you’re okay.

Lyrica and gabapentin both but lyrica is definitely better. I have read on gabagoodness forums and shit that lyrica CAN be addictive. Benzos acton both sides of the gaba receptor like alcohol, lyrica and gaba act on the non-addictive side (is how it was explained to me) but I agree with you, it definitely helped me. I take gabapentin, suboxone, and clonazepam (Been on clonazepam since i got back from my 5th combat tour, combat PTSD is a bitch)

also check in with everyone here asking how you're doing if you can, pls :)

Yeah it's crazy I had to fight with my doctor to switch from Suboxone to Subutex because he thought I would have abusive even after coming with him with 10 plus years of clean urine from a methadone clinic and giving him three months of clean urine including swabs and I have to fight so hard to make that simple switch doctors are not helpful and wanting to get you necessarily better I'm a firm believer in herbs

@Epic says who?

Happens all the time. If you're a chronic pain patient and walk into an ER, even when you say outright "I don't need pain relief" you're treated like scum and often denied care. That's why so many don't bother anymore and are dying at home.

Reverend Rusty That’s how it should be

I find it more real when he actually does break and do a double take to someone reacting to something he's said.

@@BardBreaker I love that shit

I'm pretty sure l would be like that woman. I get excited when listening to John.

She's really enjoying herself!

Timg95 omfg ik, I was so annoyed

soooooo annoying

Is the velociraptor replacing Rich Evans?

Alan!!

I thought it was a seagull?

Because the pink bald eagle floating inside my cat told me to buy more opioids

They do. What makes you think they don't use them.

Simon Als Nielsen aggressive Pharma salesman ibuprofen /acetemetaphene are not addictive but they will kill your liver over time

charlesvan13 The fact that they have these enormous issues with opiates and John Oliver towards the end brought up the supposed fact that many areas don't have access to other ways for pain relief. If they do indeed have access to proper medication, why are they not using that? Surely not 100 % of the medical industry can be corrupted, someone has to be interested in spreading the more reasonable treatments.

TRICHOMETRIST But many of the people addicted were obviously people that needed temporary relief, not something for the rest of their lives, and also, is liver damage really worse than getting addicted to opiates?

Lol that’s a smart add
