This just pisses me way the **** off. What might be the point of declaring it anything? Except as an excuse to throw my money at it. **** that.

*I will disclaim that I am none too sympathetic to addicts...I only buy the 'sickness' thing in very limited cases...IMO, that means that a LOT of people get to blame their pathetic weakness on biology or some ****...I know that isn't the general common empathetic theme, but as someone with his own weakness demons in the closet, I figure I'm gonna call out others*

So, maybe I'm just not ever going to be mainstream understanding and ****...

But, to my mind, this news along with all the health care crap the last few years....it just pisses me off. Don't even try to tell me that the insurance industry, big pharma and the rest of our health care 'system' that needs government supplements and other help....don't fn tell me that they aren't the ones largely responsible for any opiate epidemic. **** 'em...make pharma, and the insurance companies and the docs writing all the bogus scrips foot the bill...not the taxpayers....how is this my responsibility?

Not to sound cold and uncaring but maybe if they started letting OD's check out some of the others might get scared straight. Not much incentive to modify a behavior if there's not a significant negative consequence.

And while I'm all outraged at pharma...here's another thing

Why why why all the commercials on tv for prescription drugs???? How the **** can this be a good thing? I'm going to go way against my Libertarian leanings and say that I'd be perfectly happy with a law taking that crap off tv.

What's wrong with a model that has doctors getting themselves educated about drugs....and then prescribing them safely and appropriately??? How is the world a healthier or safer place if I go to my doctor and say "write me a script for Viberzi, because I had the sh|ts yesterday and that ridiculous redhead in the leotard said I need Viberzi"

Internet aided self-diagnosis is bad enough....now we also get to bug our doctor for all kinds of crap because every commercial on tv from 5 to 8 PM is for some drug that I didn't know I needed...get 'em off my tv

Drama queens.. all of them.. 😟

Weed is the worst man, you pretty much stop giving a chit about everything and it can permanently give you emotional/brain damage.

I say take 'em off the air for another reason! They aren't tested very well! When a drug say for "dry eyes" goes on to extol the virtues of using their drug on a daily regimen and then go on for the next 2 minutes detailing all the "side effects"...yeah...ya'll need to go back to the lab and tighten that up a bit. If I'm going to take something for "dry eyes" and all of a sudden I have acute vomiting, ulcers, cancerous tumors, rectal bleeding, itchy feet, running nose, severe diarrhea, ringing in the ears, splotchy patches of skin, high blood pressure, persistent urination, hangnails and an erection that's lasting more than 4 hours I have to deduce that you're not diagnosing the issue and setting up people for even more medicines!

A bit of personal responsibility is called for. Drugs are bad. 98.2% of our population knows they're bad, and some retards choose to ingest or inject them anyway.

My sympathy meter for dopers is pegged at zero.

IIRC the largest increase in opioids deaths in among the 55+ age group. Maybe these aren't accidents.

What's even more hypocritical is our local guberment wants to add further taxes to Mj to provide funding to the local federally funded health care business so they can provide addiction treatment for the opioid epidemic the federally funded health care businesses, insurance agencies, and big Pharma helped to create.The federal guberment considers MJ as bad as heroin, but doesn't have a problem with health care business collecting tax dollars from the sale of MJ to fund treatment of heroin. Meanwhile MJ has shown significant results in helping treat the withdrawal symptoms from heroin. But sine Big Pharma and its lobbyist are against legalizing MJ, consumers are stuck in a quagmire regardless of what the State law is. These additional local taxes would also result in MJ being taxed more than tobacco in CO. Health care hypocrisy at its best.

Of course princess Vicki would be proud of his participation in the creation of this epidemic. Many of the homeless people he assaults and complains about he helped put onto the street with the drug he helped to create/manufacture. Well done, ya f*ckin putz!

What's your point short bus?
You want me to be sympathetic to the addicts? You want pharma companies to stop producing a product which revolutiinized medicine?

Dude... you're always so concerned about the homeless whenever you have to argue with me. Wonder if you give a rats azz any other time.

I doubt it! It's your crutch and excuse to attack people. It's what makes you feel better about yourself. I mean other than attacking the homeless people you help put on the street with your toxic crap.

... and before you get around to whining about it... yes I'll help manufacture opioids any day... are you suggesting the pharma companies should stop making what is arguably a life saving drug?

Why do you hate science, freedom and america?
