    I've only had an opioid once, hydrocodone, but just a dose. It didn't seem to have much effect.

    About ten years ago I had a momentary huge stabbing pain that dropped me to my knees and elbows for about five minutes until it passed. Not sure what it was, but probably a minute particle passing through a sensitive area below my sternum. It felt like I was stabbed with a Rambo-sized knife. Fortunately, it never returned.

    I always thought opiates don't stop pain anymore then aspirin or Aleve.

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    You mean they'd still be walking onto flights with box cutters.

    Depends on your perspective.

    I hope it does.
