Actually, I would like to see the DEA stop their *war on pain meds* where doctors are afraid to prescribe those meds for conditions that need pain treatment — because the DEA will sue the doctors.

Now, these are medical doctors, doing their practice with their patients and not dealing illegal drugs, but treating the condition of the patient. It’s been a problem for a while, with many doctors. I’ve dealt with it with my dad on some of pain meds with his doctor, too, before he died.

The doctors can’t treat because of insurance companies and because of the government and because of the DEA (at various times and for various things).

That's certainly an example of a relative minuscule number of people abusing the system and causing tremendous aggravation to the innocent and sick.

It should be addressed.

Cops need criminals. If the war on drugs is over, all those overpaid federal parasites are out of jobs and have to find honestjobs... If they can.

I damn sure wouldn’t hire one.
