“...The nation’s opioid crisis...”
Yet another “crisis”....sort of like the “assault weapon crisis”. Whenever the media/politicians come up with a “crisis” it raises huge red flags. And they are conflating legitimate medical use of pain killers with street drug criminal use by drug addicts. Their solution? Make it harder for people in dire pain to legitimately get prescription relief.
People believe “factoids” without verification.
Their solution? Make it harder for people in dire pain to legitimately get prescription relief.
I saw the report out of Seattle that their solution is to hand out Narcon syringes to family and friends of opioid addicts so the family and friends can bring the addict back to life when they overdose.

They are disingenuously claiming that ‘most’ opioid addicts began with legal prescriptions- While some did- most drug addicts began with illegal drugs, not legal ones-
[[Their solution? Make it harder for people in dire pain to legitimately get prescription relief.]]
Exactly- they are hell bent on doing away with the m ost effective pain control substance we have- pretty soon it’s going to be like having surgery o n the field during war when no pain meds are available
“And they are conflating legitimate medical use of pain killers with street drug criminal use by drug addicts.”
If you OD on opioids, it means your opioid usage was not of legitimate medical use.
It means, you were a Junkie.
