My dad struggled with opioid addiction for about 15 years. Shortly before he was hit by a train, his prescription was changed from hydrocodone to OxyContin. I believe that change may be the reason there’s now a rumor that he died "mooning" the train.
I have seen weed at it's worst and Rx Opiates at theirs.
Weed should not even be in the same category.
The stigma was manufactured- read "The Emperor Wears No Clothes"
