      I, like many people—disproportionately women—have a chronic illness that causes constant pain.

        For a long time, I took opiate-based medicines for this condition. But consistently have been treated more and more like a criminal.

          A month after i moved across the country, the DEA declared that opiates can no longer have refills—immediately negating the 6 months I had.

            I had that 6-months because my previous doctor knew it would take some time to establish trust with a new doctor. So then I suffered.

              Since I was in California, I started experimenting with (non-psychoactive) CBD. It took a long time to find something that helped.

                It’s not as effective as hydrocodone, but it helps. But now that’s a goddamn Schedule I.

                  Because fuck women in pain, I guess. End rant. For now. God dammit.
