So because some abuse opiates the rest of us will be restricted.
.
Baker is an ass. RINO doesn’t even begin to describe him.
Punish the innocent. It’s the pro/regressive way.
This is a disaster for chronic pain people.
I guess if you’ve got cancer you better not last more than 7 days.
What a frikkin joke, If I didn’t have the opiates, I immediately went into shock and dropped, I took as much as I wanted for 3 months, usually 50 Percodan every 3 days, YES I was ADDICTED. They Knew it, it was done intentionally, the accident I had required it. But After the Surgery I went through the withdrawls in the Hospital. Needless to say I rarely take Pain Pills ever since, but when I do, it is an Opiate, usually Vicodin.
The unintended (or maybe it IS intended) consequence of all of these “compassionate” laws restricting legitimate pain medications will be forcing people suffering from chronic pain to resort to street drugs like heroin that will kill many more than the prescription meds ever would. Morons.
Politicians Gone Wild!
“including a seven-day limit on first-time prescriptions for opiate painkillers”
Insanity, all it does is penalize those who really need it.
I get mucus blocked ear tubes every winter.
The doctor tells me to use double dose pseudoephedrine to clear it so that I can hear. The problem is that I can only buy enough to allow be to hear for 20 days during each month. I have to ration the damn things so that I can hear during work. This makes it such that I can’t watch TV at night, because I haven’t got enough pills.
This is bad enough, but if I were in pain and these idiots limited my pain meds, it would be terrible.
It isn’t a war on drugs, it’s a war on sick Americans, just so some liberal bozo can feel good about himself.
I don’t care if junkies wind up killing themselves, it’s the poor saps who are ill and have no choice that suffer.
Why does the government interfere between a doctor and a patient?
If someone is addicted and has no medical need for it, shouldn’t that be up to the doctor?
I feel bad for people who really need to rely on pain medication for legitimate reasons. I was with a friend who had to appear in a small court room in Central Kentucky a few years back and I could not believe what I was witnessing. Nothing, but poor white people whose lives had been ruined by no jobs, pain pills, meth and heroin. It literally felt like I was sitting among dead people. I looked at all those people sitting around me and felt so ashamed as what has happened to America but especially rural America. This was not some inner city ghetto, these were the people Obama was talking about when he said under him electricity would unnecessarily skyrocket or something similar if I remember correctly. Hillary said last night on CNN that lots more coal people were going to be losing jobs if she’s elected so she is going to finish was Obama started. What I witnessed in that court room that day is why Donald Trump needs to build that damn wall to stop the drug flow from Mexico and yes, Mexico is going to pay for it. This was several years back and I can only imagine how much worse the drug situation is in this small American community just like thousands of other small American communites all over this country these days.
may God save us from the scourge of ‘the government’ trying to help us
Hmmmm. The government is getting involved in the relationship between patient and doctor
Punish the many, for the good of the many (supposedly), due to the actions of the few.
Typical Bizarro World (leftist) “”logic””. And...since the individual can no longer be held responsible for their own actions in the Obamanation.....big government must make it so that the individual is unable to BE responsible for their own actions. Just more freedoms removed ...
for our own good, of course. FT!
Massachusetts, the only state that has given Trump a majority. They are going to need those painkillers.
So, the rest of Massachusetts gets punished on behalf of people who cannot, for whatever reason, wean themselves off of the opiates. Great.
Nanny State PING!
