The stigma that “opiates are bad” runs all the way down into most hearts. My Father died because he would not admit his sufferings were from cut-off and withdrawal, he told no one, and quickly thereafter died of madness strapped down on his hospital bed until they ‘dispatched’ him in a needless surgery. He should still be alive.
