They get prescribed Oxycodone, Valium, Xanax, Tramadol and other pain killers? After serious operation, they give you morphine to ease the pain and you're high as fuck that is OK but the fact that I am now on synthetic cannabinoids is not.

Valium and Xanax are both benzodiazepines and in no way help with pain. They are used as pre-op anesthesia, as anxiolytics and anticonvulsants (among other uses). The only way I can see a benzo helping with pain is via the muscle relaxant effects, or in combination with an opioid as a means to potentate the opioid.

In USA you have Ritalin(methylphenidate(20% l-amphetamine, 80% d-amphetamine)

Methylphenidate is a chemical unto itself and though it shares a similar mechanism of action to amphetamines, it is not a combination of l/d-amphetamine. That preparation is sold under the brand name Adderall.

stop spewing shit, lol

Bro pharmas is good. They increase your lifespan. We should stay away from all the natural medicine such as Cannabis and Opium. We should only use the synthetic man made medicine, after all they don't have like 1000 side effects which no one seem to care about.

Moreover, as you brought up in the OP, kids are being prescribed morphine. Morphine and codeine are the two primary psychoactive constituents of the opium poppy. Hydrocodone and hydromorphone are also semi-synthetics, derived from thebaine, which is also a constituent of the opium poppy. Need I mention that all opioids have the potential for physical dependance, respiratory depression, and the likes? Ibuprofen may thin your blood for the duration of it's action, but you cannot develop a physical dependance on it like an opioid painkiller. NSAID medications, like ibuprofen, are superior to opioids for this reason - they lack dependance and abuse liability. Ibuprofen is not meant to be taken daily, in fact, unless prescribed so, it is usually used as needed for moderate pain.

This is not to say that opioids do not have a place in modern healthcare. They very much do, for sufferers of severe chronic pain. Tramadol, which you claim is synthetic in the OP (protip - can be found in nature, refer to http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.10...917.f04t01) has a dual mechanism of action as an SNRI and opioid agonist, increasing it's efficacy in those who are either intolerant to more potent, classical opioids, or in some with neuropathic pain, in which dual reuptake inhibitors has been found to be effective.
