Opiates Drugs

Opiates Drugs can be as addictive as morphine, but at the same time it can be a very good way of controling harmful pains. In some cases opiates drugs are very necesary to survive because people need to deal with some diseases that can be super painful: therefore, for those people these drugs are eesential to take in order to have a normal life. Even though brain does produce endorphins which helps to control pain among human's body, sometimes it is not powerful enough. These endorphins are good to decrease some of pains caused by injuries or diseases and they are necessary for survival, but Opiates do help a lot because they are much more powerful than endorphins.

It is very dangerous to take these drugs without supervision but as I understood this video even when a person is given these drugs by a doctor they will develop addiction towards this drugs eventually. .

  1. I understood the same thing from the video. Opiates can be very helpful for relieving intense pain, but I do believe people taking them need to be closely monitored. Even those people taking them for something as simple as relief from a pulled wisdom tooth seem to become addicted. Tolerance to the drug develops in less than a week, and it seems like right after that tolerance comes the addiction to the drug. The only way to prevent addiction is for the family or physician to ensure that the patient is being closely monitored.
