Drugs are awful, drugs are wonderful
A friend of a friend died of a fentanyl overdose last month; a family member’s life is being prolonged by prescription this month.
The former did not require the drug, the second does.
The former tried to anesthesize her emotions, the latter her body
The former was changing her life, leaving a bad relationship, the latter put too much of herself into work
Both experienced consequences
Rx roulette, one sanctioned, one not
Two outcomes, one coin.
