Morphine is a powerful painkiller, Works on psychological pain as well as
physical.
Sorry to disagree but drugs can be beneficial, short term, or if used
occasionally and if properly, prescribed and/or used responsibly. Seen the
benefits of cannabis on MS patients, My mum takes the odd DF118 since
breaking both legs after a tumble, and pholcodeine linctus is ace for
coughs. Perhaps we should define the word "drugs"
If you define drug in the context to which I am rightly or wrongly assuming
you may mean, for example,
1. cravings if withdrawn
2. Feelgood factor
3. Inability to function normally and behaviour changes if withdraw suddenly
4. Deep desire to continue to have the "drug"
5 Severe anxiety without, flushing, withdrawn behaviour, inablility to face
the world,
Then you could actually apply these 5 possible definitions to your trousers
during your morning surgery sir. :)
