I have a non-addictive personality, and have taken opiods 3 different times in my life, never killed me nor did I have an issue stopping.

Opioids are only 30-40% addictive, meaning the vast majority of people taking them never develop an addiction. 30-40% is high no doubt, the highest of all pain killers, but the idea we should disallow people in pain from taking them simply because some people go on to abuse them is not rational IMO
