Just like the general public. Opioids are routinely prescribed post hip/knee replacements, a myriad of spinal surgeries, and so on. If it was highly addictive to the average person, it wouldn't be prescribed. It's a problem for addicts as almost all drugs are a problem for addicts.

Who said anything about Boogard? I didn't. I'm talking about Mike Freaking Richards man.
It really sounds like you're defending your usage of it. Which is so utterly meaningless when we're talking about a pro athlete taking it on a sheer higher volume than you ever will.
Oxycotone abuse is a real issue in the real world whether you think it is or not. Thats a fact. you're right though, your tanget is getting way off course.
Also, the lack of empathy by you about another poster knowing full well the dangers of the drug because their family member died because of it is brutal man.
