But how is this different from someone who HAS to have their coffee in the morning to wake up? Isn't that addiction as well? If a person needs the medication because it takes their pain away, shouldn't they be allowed to use it for as long they need? Don't get me wrong, I know people don't cause havoc in their lives because they've stolen or neglected for their caffeine habit. But, if the narcotic is prescribed and the patient takes it as prescribed effectively relieving their pain, isn't that a good thing?
And no, I don't take narcotics on a regular basis. :)
