4. I did have a family member on opiods

My late grandmother was put on Fentanyl after recovering from surgery. My mom argued with the nursing home to decrease her dose (and used Prince's death as a talking point) but to no avail.

Prior to her moving into a nursing home, she had a home health aid. Her meds were always going missing and there's reason to believe that they were stolen (home health aids make minimum wage--- not a fair salary for the work they do).

5. No

but I had a family member OD and live. Their pain specialist dropped them afterwards and instead of turning to hard street drugs, they are now controlling their pain with MJ and more recently, Kratom.
