this is my 2 cents but it is a fact that there are people who get injured and get a script for pain meds the injury has healed and they go back to the dr or more and say they still hurt just for the meds because they do get that high. for me i am in so much pain and do believe that when people truely have pain they dont get that high. but keep in mind that there are people who do abuse there meds and do get high not every one but it is a fact go to recovery or aa and listen you will hear some say i am addicted to pain meds for that high. dont lose site of the real world just becasue we are in so much pain
