I just watched the documentary video the crackdown on Doctors and patients involved in the use of opoids for chronic pain in the US:

I certainly found it's content to be very "chilling" to say the least; and I highly recommend you watch it too.
Does anyone else think it's starting to creep in over here? As a chronic pain patient myself; I have had to move counties just to get a buprenorphine dose higher than 5mcg/hr! It sort of tells me that something is going on when GP's wont script any anything other than Codeine, DHC or tramadol even on advisement of a pain consultant.
Despite our socialised medicine system methinks that the drug companies might be pulling a few strings behind the scenes; after all they don't make a lot of profit from "nasty cheap opioids."
Any opinions welcome and please do watch the video; It's highly interesting stuff.
