Oh good God.
It is not an epidemic. It is man-made, if you will.
These people choose to be obsessed with drugs. It is a moral problem, not a health or natural-disaster problem.
They are not victims, they just made poor decisions.
We don’t need another monument to people that made bad choices.
Remember the Crack Memorial? Yeah, me neither.
Yes some people get addicted to prescribed meds and I think if they are not smart enough to seek help, well that's on them.
The fact that now every first responder is required to carry NarCan or whatever is a just another big pharma cash cow.
Just peachy. My husband has stage 4 cancer and cant get a freaking sleeping pill unless he gives up the pain meds which are helping him get through these last days. Thank you people who want to have a cause because of those who abused the medicine, making it ever tougher for people like my husband. FU all.
All are so called "drug war" did was to slow the process down, but it still seems to be happening.
Logistic growth curve.
It’s a hand to mouth problem. The Left wants to legalize opioids and now that addictions are now the fault of what, the president?
What. The pills forced themselves down their throats?
Dammit! Why do they always have to put a human face on these things?? Why not tell the personal stories of the many dogs, cats, and other critters who have succumbed to opioid addiction? It's discriminatory I tell you!!
Oh I remember when this happened during the Obama admin when this occurred in areas he did not care about. Oh wait, that did not happen.
Opiods are simply not a constitutional power delegated to the feds.
Go to your freaking state’s capital or start a referendum or initiative or something.
Another thing to blame on Trump.
Man we have a weak minded populace.
Like putting junkies names on used needles. Isn’t anyone responsible for their own actions anymore besides Trumps lawyers?
Why not? Elected criminals love it.
The stupid public pay for it and the criminal get votes.
Mother nature never needs to get reelected, and Darwin clearly explained the inescapable fate of incompetent unfit parents and their offspring...
Wouldn’t it be better to put the memorial in front of the FDA bldg or maybe in front of Eli Lilly headquarters?
Dear me, how grim.
funny how they never did this when obama, who is responsible for the opiod epidemic with his selling out to big pharma, was in office..
Is it me, or is the “opioid crisis” is a plan to legalize pot?
22,000 a year and 40,000 a year from heroin laced with fentanyl coming right across our wide open southern border, but F the wall and let’s give half a billion a year to Planned baby murder instead because nothing is more important that giving free abortions.
Can we have a memorial for alcoholics?
How about smokers?
How about one for those that ate too many donuts.
