Do you support or are against use of painkillers such as morphine... ?

Or ordinary OTC meds such as Nurofen Plus which contains Codeine which is apparently a narcotic opiate.

    --  I support, and have used, morphine-based painkillers in the past for severe pain. When I do need some painkillers for most cases, I prefer to use "Over the counter" medication that is not codeine based.

    --  Morphine based drugs can become addictive when used for longer than usually necessary.  Codeine based drugs can also be addictiuve, but to a lesser extent. That is why I prefer to not use either unless necessary.
