The benefits don’t …
The benefits don’t outweigh the risks to some people, but I understand what you’re saying too. It’s a shame that there are some people out there who truly need the medicine for diseases and pain that’s legitament — but then, there are those who simply abuse the drug and ruin it for those who are in dyer need of the medications.

Your comment shows your ignorance, you are probrably one of the lucky people who take Imitrex or something like that and it actually works. Me on the other hand cannot take those, I get migranes too and have pain from leukemia these medications are the only thing that make my life barable.

I dont understand …
I dont understand what these people are so butt hurt about, so some poeople like to get high so what does it affect you in any way?? The number of people who abuse is shadowed by the number of people who actually need them, around 200 million. 50 million being pain related compared to 12 million abusers. So the benefits outweigh the risks.
