Opioids for veterans?

Suicide for veterans is very high.

Does it make sense to legalize opiods as a last resort for these types of people?

Or are they better off dead?

    Firstly, YES, drug should be decriminalized as was done in Portugal, so America can stop being addicted to the obsession it has with making vain assessments about it's citizens, reducing them to either, "winners or losers", but never admitting that they are human beings deserving of dignity, and respect.

    WOW!!! >"These types of people" You mean the trash people who don't matter anyway. the people who served their country and are treated like trash, and wastes of human life, who do not deserve adequate pain care with opioids (the best possible treatment for incurable intractable pain), by a responsible, compassionate medical professional, without being dehumanized? No, vets deserve to be treated like trash. maligned as losers and suckers for serving their country and daring to need medical care from the disgustingly cheap and ********* VA healthcare system. The Iran-contra scandal is erased from selfish idiots minds, and the "status- quo" of evil shady malpractice towards Americans in general is disguising. NO, we DO NOT have the right to treat vets as losers who don't deserve to be cared about in terms of treating ALL chronic pain honestly with HIGHLY predictable effective cheap opioids as medications. Legalization of drugs would allow autonomy to return to the American people, since Doctors are corrupt POS who will write a script for anything for a kickback. THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. Not centuries old solutions to pain care that is simple decent. Restricting opioids is impossible as the human bodies MAKES them. This question is just another sickening example of a loser who doesn't like himself enough to bother treating anyone else well, even in a hypothetical sense. You're ego labeled, injured, disregarded exploited Vets as losers, and asked if we should Abuse them via torture or abject neglect. I hope someone treat you like this one day and you remember what a creep you are.
