So, believe him if you will.<br /><br />I guess I just don't get it. I personally have had several different procedures/operations where I have been sedated to various degrees. At NO time did I ever experience any pain or discomfort, before, during, or after, save for the very minor "bee-sting" when stuck to start the IV. <br /><br />Much ado about nothing. I am sure I would be viewed as extremist if I should recommend that perhaps we could use a massive dose of heroin, fentanyl, etc., which would give them the ride of their lives before they expire. <br /><br />If we can use pot medicinally, looks to me like we can similarly use opiates for executions. Nothing cruel/unusual that I can see about shooting executees up with exactly the same medications, with the exception of heroin, which are used in hospitals thousands of times every day.<br />elwood p sugginsnoreply@blogger.com
