The body of evidence on opiates aside from potential side effects,
is largely ignored, but is evidence accumulated over thousands
of years, as opiates are the oldest medicine known to mankind.

For further information, I recommend the American Academy of
Pain Management, which grants the Diplomate degree to
medical doctors (MD's) who are seeking to specialize in
pain management, which is increasingly becoming recognized as
important, due to the Dr. Kevorkian alternative pain
management practices of assisted-suicide. The evidence is also
now in, and recognized by leaders in the medical profession, that
morphine is rarely addictive, when taken for real pain.
