64,000 opioid deaths in 2016 - doing good, feel the painlessness. Maybe we can require seatbelts with that scrip?

Yep, Provocative PP. I looked in electro-massage as 1 approach to dealing with deep muscular pain, which didnt wirk near as well as having a masseuse that few can afford for the amount they need it (think chemotherapy sessions, chronic back pain, etc)

And then our laws make smoking a joint one of the worst things we can do, while we have upper strong pain killers that kill a lot of people a year. Maybe we can make the opioids safer, if that's on anyone's to-do list?

And hey, I have it under Antonio Damasio's authority that pain is necessary.

I don't want to ruin your point, but it's on an important quibble: I just wanna beg to differ with the simplicity of your headline. If you've ever been in a hospital after screaming for hours in severe pain and the doc decides you can have a shot of morphine: nothing finer on this earth nor in heaven. It's addictive, but they still use it on occasion because: it ends pain. Immediately, immediately. You don't know if it's euphoria from the morphine or just because the pain stopped. You don't care because: the pain stopped! They are still the best way to end acute pain.
