Yes let’s get rid of serious pain meds because some people abuse them. How about those with chronic pain who need strong pain meds to function. These folks are dependent but are not addicts as they do not abuse the drug. I have been on low dose oxy twice. Followed the rules, did not drink, did not take more than the dosage and some days less, observed how they affected me before driving etc. Once we physically corrected the pain issue was able to stop them. Without the oxy I would have not been able to function.
So some assholes OD multiple times and, once again, the federalis punish responsible people.
How many people died in car wrecks last yr? By the same logic we should outlaw cars and let people walk to work.
