That's deep, bruh.
Don't know if I agree as some people find it hard to get by without pain meds when their pain is debilitating.
Think the key is moderation and combining with other medical techniques such as physical therapy, neurostimulation, and maybe proper diet / exercise.
I like your art though. Heavy mind sort of stuff.
Ye I feel u sometimes people need it to function but the point is that the body has a natural way of healing past trauma and releasing the charged emotions to let them go. So it often happens that instead of letting the process happen by itself people block it and prolong it. It's like u have a thorn in your foot and instead of letting it out you just push it down again and again suppressing it even further. Basically instead of suppressing shit It's more beneficial in the long run to let it go and release it out of yourself. Then eventually u remove the clutter and have peace inside.
But ye I get your view. Bless up 🙌
