Prince did not die from pain pills — he died from chronic pain *RAW STORY*

[Dustlawyer]

36. Unless you experience pain 24/7/365, pain that is moderate to severe

with no stop ever, it is hard to understand. Add to that worried doctors who are afraid to treat the pain realistically and you can forget anyone else truly understanding. When you can only 3-4 hours sleep each night due to the pain and still have to get up and go to work, day after day trying to concentrate on what you are doing without biting off people's heads, you might start to understand.

When pot can take away the pain for a few hours of relief and sleep, but you cannot take it because it is illegal in your state, you tend to get very angry. You also cannot take it because the insurance company insists that your doctor drug screen you almost every visit to hopefully catch you with a "dirty" test to avoid paying for your treatment. You also get really mad when some politician says it needs more study to see if it works!

Americans in general have little empathy and are quick to judge things they know little about, until it happens to them!
