I do not work for the gov’t. How did you get that idea? I don’t like the gov’t involved with medicine either, but the opioid problem is a drug problem. These drugs are coming in illegally, and the prescriptions of them are being abused by some doctors.
Secondly, some good studies out there showing that Tylenol is AS EFFECTIVE in controlling chronic pain, (and acute pain in ED) as the opioids
Well wherever the above "good studies" You Posted came from.
The way I read it it's Tylenol=Opioids and if that's the case then I should be allowed to buy Opioids OTC. And I can't so they are Not equal or AS EFFECTIVE.
I have a simple fix for the STREET OPIOIDS problem. They get one bust for free and are offered help to get unstrung and the second time is a bullet to the head. Cheap, simple and effective.
