With more patients abusing opioid products and associated deaths rising, the pressure to bring abuse-deterrent opioid products to market is on the rise. Example -oxycontin has been tamper proof for 3 years.
Unfortunately, the pharmacology change drives many to shift to heroin.

Some junkies get supplied by the dealer on the street corner and other junkies get supplies by the pharmacist in the store on the street corner.
They are all the same.

And Obama just let hundreds out of prison today, who WILL help to increase those numbers.

I’m sure glad we let those illegal scum scurry across the border with bags of dope. I hope we start using armed drones against them.

Obama released 330 drug dealers serving life sentences today and four Mexican drug cartel leaders.

So that's how Crooked Hillary lost, a huge chunk of her base OD'd.
Oh well.

You want to use armed drones against your local pharmacist? More people kill themselves by drugs obtained from the local drugstore than they do from drugs obtained from a drug dealer.

I just heard that Obama pardoned 300 drug dealers.

“The illicit trade is inconsistent in pharmacology making it much more lethal.”
Yes, but more people are killed by drugs obtained from their doctor and pharmacist than are killed by drugs obtained from a drug dealer.
The bottom line is that a junkie is a junkie and it makes no difference who his supplier happens to be.

Two interesting things about this, 1) why do the idiot MSM talking heads focus on limiting painkillers to people who need them but pretty much ignore heroin, and 2) why are we guarding opium fields in Afghanistan when under the Taliban that trade all but ceased to exist?

People will make their own decisions and often times people die from their decisions.
In the end, it does not matter who supplies the vice, pharmacist, liquor store, tobacco company or drug dealer.

Heroin deaths are like suicide, self administered and voluntary.I feel bad that a kid takes that first bite but after the third one he is no longer a functioning human being. and no longer has my sympathy. Same for meth or crack.
