“The so-called War on Drugs has gone way too far.”
The WOD is being fought the wrong way.
Winning is pretty simple.
1) BUILD THE DAMNED WALL. That will dramatically cut the illegal drug trade.
2)If someone is convicted of selling drugs all property is seized. Cash is donated to local charities, physical property is auctioned and proceeds donated to local charities. Strict controls are used to ensure law enforcement does NOT profit from seizures.
3) convicted drug dealers are publicly executed and their bodies are put on public display before being released for burial.
4) doctors who recklessly prescribe pain meds lose their ability to practice, are jailed for a period of time and are barred from any profession that requires licensing. No getting disbarred from medicine then going to law school to become a lawyer.
It won’t be easy at first but in the long run it would work a lot better than what is being done now.
The WOD started as a response to a problem that too many politicians signed on to because it would look good on their resume come election time.
On the dark side some signed on because they saw a way to pad their bank accounts.
Instead of actually helping people politicians pass laws that do nothing but punish the average person who just needs some relief from chronic pain.
I have tried every known affordable method of dealing with my pain.
My current hydrocodone prescription runs out in 30 days. Not sure what I’ll do then.
Great post. I will pray for you that you get the meds you need to ease your pain.
My insurance company stopped paying for my Xanax. I suffer from severe anxiety and panic disorder due to issues from my past. Xanax helps greatly with my panic attacks.
A couple of months ago, my insurance company stopped covering Xanax because they didn’t want people to get addicted. That angered me that they were playing doctor because if I don’t have my Xanax, I’ll end up in the ER with panic attacks.
My Doctor recommended that I try Ativan for a month to see how that worked. Tried it, didn’t work. My insurance would pay for Ativan for some reason, which makes no sense because it is a Benzo just like Xanax. But, it’s weaker.
I finally decided to pay for my Xanax out of pocket. Luckily it’s only $10.
I pray that you get the help you need. I hate that the drug war is hurting innocent people who truly need pain meds.
