About pain meds – well said Bill. I agree.

I too believe that the mind is powerful enough to block pain. But, it takes extreme focus and I doubt many actually have that kind of mind control. Some have more resistance to pain, most athletes fall into that category. But, when it comes to certain levels of pain, like teeth pain, some headaches, having SURGERY – it’s just easier to rely on modern advances in medications. And really, what is having a cocktail and smoking a joint now and then if not to anesthesize yourself from the pain of daily living. Your job is a pain in the ass, have a beer tonight and forget all about him.

Looks like a race for home field.
