Absolutely do not take prescription painkillers recreationally. Just don’t. You might think you have self control but that shit can very quickly and easily take over your life.
If you are not rich the money will eventually run out and you will have to turn to street drugs. Then things get really bad and really dangerous. I have seen this first hand many times. Just don’t do it.
