the fact with Hospitals and Morphine is so true! Why did no one wonder about this before?! Of course those people would become addicts if only the traditional theory was true!

That's also one of the reasons why I think Prof Alexander's theory might be true - until proven otherwise, the hospital scenario would not make sense then!

People wondered about it before. And doctors proposed changes to therapy.
I dont know how it is in detail in the US (I think you are US), but I strongly assume the factual policy from politics is the "War on drugs" that sees the reason for addiction in the person's fault, just like unemployment, where there is also a sort of "war on unemployed", just with less weapons but similar social stigma.

Aw common.
A freshly discharged patient does not have any access to the drug, he or she received.
They often do not even know what they were treated with. Or which medication did what.
They would often not know where to get it.
And more likely than not be physically impaired.
not to mention that signs of drug withdrawal often mix with a general lack of wellbeing.
Plus a lack of positive conditioning.
Who wants to take stuffthat your memory connects to a period of feeling lousy?
A good hospital would avoid giving their patient a positive kick. No spikes in bloodlevels. They want to keep them out of pain, thats all.

Lets take another example. Propofol. Can give you a hell of a trip, I heard it say.
Either way.
Use it wrongly and you are on the worst hallicunations ever.
So, the only people to get on this drug are those with access and expert knowledge.
Morphium is a big issue mainly because so many people heard about it.
Some patients do not respond to it at all. No receptors. You couod throw any dosage at them.
