These companies assured all doctors and pharmacists that opioids were highly effective painkillers, but not addictive. Because of this, doctors began prescribing patients excess amounts, "just to be safe." People quickly became addicted to this new drug, and doctors began prescribing much less. ]]> 2018-12-06 22:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312069133 mmoser2021 https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312071332 2018-12-06 23:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312071332 mmoser2021 https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312071394 The majority of opioids are actually legal, but only as prescribed drugs. The only truly illegal opioid is heroin. ]]> 2018-12-06 23:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312071394 mmoser2021 https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312071851 Fentanyl

This causes people to feel calm and happy. People become attached to this feeling, and use opioids as the way to feel calm and happy. The danger of a doctor overdosing an opioid is that the extra pills will be consumed to get to this feeling.]]> 2018-12-06 23:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312072004 mmoser2021 https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312072374 Although opioids are considered very addictive, the majority of people who try it for the first time (no prescription) will not become addicted.

Teens are more likely to become addicted than adults because of their developing brains.]]> 2018-12-06 23:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312072374 mmoser2021 https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312073134 Feelings of calm

Not all opioids have the same power, so doctors may prescribe less powerful opioids but this can lead to people wanting more powerful opioids. Less powerful opioids are sort of like a gateway drug.]]> 2018-12-06 23:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312073580 mmoser2021 https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312075218 2018-12-06 23:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312075218 mmoser2021 https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312075651 2018-12-06 23:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mmoser2021/rsqb3woyinmt/wish/312075651
