Demonization of people who manufacture drugs.
As if the government can do anything constructive here.
The problem would be self limiting if drugs were legal.
Not to mention demonetization of chronically ill patients who have no option but pain meds to even get out of bed and shower, whose only hope is reduction in pain.
They are now treated worse than street junkies. Doses cut back, or eliminated, this also effects our permanently injured Military who have been blow to bits by IED’s.
I think the original study on opioid OD was a piece of biased junk by the people who want MMJ mainstreamed as a pain med when it is NOT. It just gets you high like getting drunk so you forget how high your pain level is. And on Big Pharma’s part to push Lyrica and Neurotin both of which are MORE addictive than NORCO. Even more so than Valium which works much better on pain like Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue and fixes the Fibro Fog to boot.
