This man decided to go all out when he got this tattoo! He had a huge and colorful eye plastered on the underside of his chin. Although it is strange, at least this ink looks pretty sweet.



If there is anything good to say about this piece of ink, it is that it is very realistic looking and well done! The eye really does look like it is coming through his chin and staring right into our soul.

That's odd.:eyesmoke:

"Two and a half years after the release of the CDC’s opioid prescribing guideline, the American Medical Association has finally taken a stand against the “misapplication” and “inappropriate use” of the guideline by insurers, pharmacists, federal regulators and state governments"

Thankfully, I've never had chronic pain and didn't know much about the prescribing guidelines and effects. Heard this guy on Coast2coast last night. https://www.acsh.org/profile/josh-bloom
i've had sciatica for years....most of the time when i'm on my feet too long, or sit and compress the nerve too long, it starts to hurt a little, and keeps getting worse, till i get the pressure off of it for at least 20 or 30 minutes....imagine a bad toothache in your hip....that won't go away, that you can't rub, or soak, or do a damn thing about.....and i can do something about it, but it pretty much stops whatever i'm doing for a good while, and i have to take it easy or it'll come back. i'm a stubborn prick, and have stuck with weed my whole life. i've tried a lot of other shit (hell, maybe pretty much everything at least once) and always come back to weed.
but if that pain was constant, if i couldn't do anything about it? ....i dunno...it about makes me insane in 20 minute increments....i can't imagine what i would do to get some relief if it was constant

It's sick and sad what is being done. I didn't listen but I am aware of the misuse of the CDC guidelines and interference with the doctor/patient relationship. The AMA finally came out about it but it was to little, to late. Even terminal cancer patients are being denied opiates for fear of addiction.

Yeah that's what this Bloom was talking about, especially about the 90 MME(?) for everyone and not taking in account each person's ability to process the pain meds in his/her liver. Also the fact the CDC had no business issuing guidelines in the first place. AND, pain meds should be titrated to each person's ability to function. AND some surgeons won't be able/allowed to prescribe meds after certain surgeries. Definitely made me want to be more aware of the situation. This is the gist of what I remember.

typical knee jerk reactions....it's too hard to treat a substance responsibly, so just get rid of it all together, even though it could help some of the people with severe problems....no thought at all of policing it more rigorously...
