When Obama left Iran expand their Opium Sales into the USA.
The Dirty Secret No One Talks About, Tehran’s Heroin Drug Trade / its Narco -War Against America
Although it goes into a lot of details, it is a March 2015 article.
a little perspective on drug relayed deaths
In 2014, opioids were involved in 28,647 deaths — 61% of all US drug overdose deaths — and 10,574 were related to heroin
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the inspector general in 2008 reported 180,000 deaths by medical error among Medicare patients alone.
An estimated 88,0008 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women8) die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States
But, but, but......gun violence. Right?
Abortion kills even more.
Drugs kill more Americans than guns, cars and AIDS.
Right...and the Excrement eating democrats don’t want to build the wall. Vote-whores. They don’t care about Americans. All the care about is getting elected to their cushy do- nothing chair warming jobs. Mdisgusting degenerates.
I spoke with one of my doctors regarding the current opioid problem here in Pennsylvania.
She said a large part of it was her superior’ attitude.
They were telling her that if a patient came to her in pain, why would she deny them relief. That if she could help a patient feel better, she was obligated to prescribe medication that would help.
From your link....
....The Federation of State Medical Boards, which received up to $2 million from drugmakers, recommended doctors not face punishment for prescribing large amounts of opioids and called on those boards to punish doctors who “undertreated” pain.
By the 1990s, juries awarded more than $16 million to patients and families whose loved ones suffered from pain, concluding that the nursing homes, nurses and doctors that failed to give opioids were guilty of negligence.
***healers become dealers***
I remember back in the 1970s and 80s when some pill pushing private practice doctor’s offices had lines around the corner of people wanting to get in to get prescriptions for various drugs.
Oh and alcohol is just as bad.

We do not teach people how to deal with their feelings and emotions. This is why drug and alcohol use are at all-time highs.
Don’t deal with your feelings, here is a pill that makes you feel good.....temporarily.
Don’t deal with your pain, here is a pill that makes the pain go away....temporarily.
Then, those people need more and more of the crutch.
Medicines and drugs have their place, but only when people are in control of themselves.
Society’s lack of understanding and control over emotions is why we have snowflakes, vagina-people, deviants, pedophiles and many criminals.
Our crime rates would plummet if people understood and could control their emotions.
But nobody wants to talk about this....it is part of our mental health crisis and it is what fuels the drug trade.
Overprescribing has fueled much of this epidemic, said Dr. Anna Lembke, an associate professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and anesthesiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
“So how did healers become dealers?” she asked.
Government interference in Doctor Patient and pharmacist relationship, propaganda. In Canada I walk into a pharmacy and purchase codeine cough syrup $15. In the USA I go to a hospital where their emergency room is being used as a weekend clinic due to a flu epidemic they charge $1000 hospital and doctors emergency fee cause I have insurance instead of a clinic visit to get a scrip of codeine I buy for $20 at a pharmacy. Is it better I support the black market for drugs?
Mom went in for knee surgery Tuesday. Among the nurses first words were oxycodone.
I wonder if praising those 60’s punks as the most intelligent generation helped.
Sure, doctors prescribed narcotics. But what I have seen, the patients requesting narcotics were already addicts. Claiming back pain and trying to get a prescription. Telling them NO pain med prescription meant an abusive, sometimes violent patient in the clinic. It got to the point that our clinic stopped seeing Medicaid patients, as they were usually the drug seekers.
A 27 year old addict ( as this article points out) most likely did not get addicted from a doctors prescription. He already started a life of addiction when he was 14. So, I am not buying the pity party in this story. Unlikely a doctor prescribed narcs to a 14 year old boy, and got him in a cycle of addiction.
I remember the last heroin epidemic, in the early 80s. AIDS wiped out that group of addicts. Now, we have easily accessible clean needles and Narcan everywhere. This cycle of addiction will be harder to burn out.
Stoner states could care less it’s all about the tax money they receive skimming is so much more fun when you have more to skim.
>> “I can make more money spending five minutes with a patient and prescribing a pill than I can spending an hour with the patient in psychotherapy.”
Perhaps the compensation model needs some adjusting. The incentive is to keep the patient coming back forever as a revenue stream. If the doctor received a minimal payment for treatment and a huge bonus for a cure, there would be a lot more cures. (Yes, there would be abuse there, too. Wherever there is a monetary incentive, there is someone who will jump in and abuse it.)
All around me I see people in therapy for depression and it seems that neither they nor their therapists are interested in a cure. The therapists like the income and the patients like having an enabler listen to them whine (because they’ve alienated all of their friends with constant whining). Yes, there are some people who I think genuinely need help for depression, but there are many who just enjoy being miserable, whining for attention, and winning at the game of “I’m more pathetic and sad than you are.”
If I can get a doctor to prescribe a pill for my mental health issue, then I have a disease and it’s not my fault. It absolves me from responsibility to take action and work on my problem.
Put drug dealers to death. That is how to deal with the problem
Remember that Obama put thousands of these people back on the streets as “non-violent criminals.”
Somewhere, Heisenberg is laughing.
