When was the last time that you took 4 grams of opiates to find out if opiates are safer? How about with alcohol? That's the acetaminophen OD dose. The official daily limit is about half of that.
Acetaminophen's best pain relief profile is when it is mixed with aspirin in Excedrin. Neither work that well on their own. Together, they do a great job with virtually no side effect if you dose it as instructed.
And opioids certainly aren't psychologically safer. It can take years of adjustment to come out of depression even from regularly using a drug that indirectly tickles the opiate receptors. Let alone from opiates themselves.
