    Your confusion of the opiate vs opioid is actually a fundamental flaw in this video- the current problem is with completely synthetic opioids, natural herbal opiates are often much more helpful than they are dangerous when administered appropriately. Analgesia is not a sin, pain relief is a vital part of medicine.

      Yeah this video is a fail. It also doesn't mention that the opiod crisis was deliberately created by greedy pharma corporations who heavily pushed the most dangerous substances like fentanyl. Also the video doesn't mention that harm reduction is the scientifically proven way to deal with addicts instead of criminalising them and that the war on drugs was started by Ronald Reagan to target poor people, black people, leftists, hippies and basically his political opponents.

      Not-so-fun fact: The “snow” in that scene of the movie was actually 100% asbestos. Almost all of the crew in there got some form of cancer later on, most likely from exposure to the asbestos.

      True, and not necessarily from that specific exposure. It was common practice to use asbestos for special effects snow. Many of that crew and others were repeatedly exposed to it during their careers in film. Also, the death count was much higher because the clean up crews, the delivery crews, the disposal crews, and the landfill personnel, AND their families were all exposed because it stuck to their clothes.
      As you said, not so fun.

    I was surprised she used the term "opioid" to refer to compounds derived from the plant. "Opiate" usually refers to plant-derived drugs. "Opioid" refers to something made without the plant being involved at all. It's a blurry line I guess. But the point being, fentanyl is completely synthetic. It is not technically an opiate, but rather an opioid. I know I know, semantics.

      This used to be how they were termed, but now they use opioid as blanket term for all drugs that act on that receptor. But an opiate is still used to say its naturally derived from the opium poppy. Thus Morphine is an opioid and an opiate, but Fentanyl is only an opioid.

Why is it so bad to let patients have pain relief?

Ie Physical therapy or spinal injections, both of which cost 4-8+ as much. I wasn't in a position to do that. I consumed a lot of alcohol and toted the pain and let my body heal.

    In Hungary until 2004 it was common that people grow poppy ('mák') at hom gardens. Mostly to take the seeds out of pods to add to cakes. However a few junkies made a special brew to get high, in a country mostly alcoholics it was a harmless crop. Actually poppy seed is similarly part of our national identity as paprika.

    This is an indigenous plant in Turkey, it grows naturally in the wild, there is even a crity called Opium, and yet people used it for the entire history for medicinal purposes, they even gave it so babies to calm them down, they made teas against sleeping problems. There was no known opium crisis ever. Yet trade of it caused extreme problems other places. A culture naturally developed around it gives people some kind of sense to not abuse it, yet suddenly introducing it causes a lot of problems. Regulating it and exposing the people gradually is the better way to control a substance.

    Hey small note. As part of my masters work I was involved in testing addiction rates for various plant alkaloids. We were testing new analogs of glaucine and the yellow horned poppy. We also included nicotine, morphine, and caffeine as known compounds.
    Nicotine when combined with the Maoi found in tobacco won as most addictive 2 of 3 trials. So pure nicotine is weaker than pure morphine when it comes to causing self administration. But when you use a full plant extract. Tobacco knocks opium wax out pf the park. We had rats vomiting and then instantly going for more tobacco, heaving, more tobacco, heaving, more tobacco. It's scary watching how much pain they are in litterally suffering overdose symptoms and still administrators more depending on the specific alkaloids balance. We also found that depending on the cigarette brand we got the tobacco from there could he way more maoi than normal. Like the cigarette tobacco was bread to be more addictive over time

Thus, in other countries of the EU you might only find it in botanical gardens. I knew someone who planted them in Germany, but they got harvested every time by trespassers...

      Everything is addictive, it’s just the negative personal side affects that really matter.

      True. Addiction sucks...but sometimes the original ailment is just as bad, if not worst. Unfortunately.

      I don't see that it matters if your addicted if it is giving the pain relief needed, what's the difference between being dependant or addicted if your going to take it regularly? I have major spinal issues and was prescribed an opioid to allow me to continue working for 27yrs.

    Ok I've got a question. Poppies are one of my favorite flowers. can you buy seeds that don't have the opium factors?

    Growing up in Puerto Rico a kid in my neighborhood made a tea with Angel's Trumpet - Brugmansia and after ingesting this tea he became sort of a zombie..he has "never recovered"..just wanted to know if this could be true.
