Grrrrr! 

I'm so angry right now! 

Here's hoping there's some Kiwis' who can read this right now, but if not, I shall explain... 

Over here in New Zealand we have this current affairs television programme called 'Sunday'. Some may liken it to 60 Minutes or 20/20 but it's something along those lines anyway. 

Anywho, tonight they featured a story about the dangers of opiates in particular, Oxycodone. I knew I shouldn't have watched it coz now I'm super duper mad and want to do something about getting it banned! 

Now, there may be a considerable amount of people who would disagree with me in reference to the painkilling properties and all the medicinal values of it and such. However, it's UNBELIEVABLY addictive, it's just as bad as Heroin on the addictiveness front. They particularly went on to tell the story of a young girl who got so addicted to it, that, like some sort overdose occurred and the young girl ended up losing her life. 

I just think, is it worth the risk having something so destructive to relieve the pain? Is it worth getting addicted to something and then finding ways to seek it out for your own personal pleasure? Which then becomes a downward spiral. 

Now, I am only speaking for me, and this is just my opinion, but I say, get rid of it! Surely there are other drugs out there that have the same pain relief properties that don't turn you into a drug addict? 

Phew! 

Here endeth the rant!
