Opioid Abuse has cost US near $1 Trillion in losses in 4 years

This is a much more important topic to discuss than almost anything Trump related.

End the drug war, focus even 1/10 of those resources on drug rehab and drug-addiction programs and watch as we save the country hundreds of billions. It's not that hard.

What a crock the pharmaceutical companies want people getting sick".

This is an absolute shit show. These companies need to be locked up. It’s unreal this is legal and been going on for how many years now.

Pretty grim statistics. Documentaries on the US drug problem cities are on a lot over here (started with Louis Theroux). So many places just seem entirely gripped by it. My home town has one of the highest heroin addiction rates per capita in Europe but even those problems seem to pale into insignificance compared to some US cities.

Yeah, the US is a hell hole no doubt. It's all about business there and not people unless you are lucky and has a family that looks after you like Surt and fair play to them and others like them.

What is wrong with you? Can’t you discuss something without taking cheap shots at other posters you happen to disagree with?

Amazing.

I just always worry about the impact this will have on people who truly need these medications.

This really isn’t that hard of a problem to solve.

Where, I certainly didn't attack Surt or his family. Kudos to them helping him.

Sure you did, don't gas light others. No reason for you not to admit it, you have SDS 👆

Make a law prohibiting their production

So what about all the people with legitimate needs for the medications?

What if tomorrow you're in a car accident. You sustain non-life threatening injuries that still require you to undergo a major surgery.

You wouldn't want to be able to receive prescriptions for pain medication for after your surgery while you recover?

Well to be honest this issue has now become so popular because white people have become addicted. I don’t remember so much help being available during the heroin epidemic of the 70’s or the crack epidemic of the 80’s.

High strength THC

Like which strain did you have in mind to deal with the pain from a major surgery?
