Where the hell do you get what I am advocating? All I said was that anyone who says there is not an opioid crisis is politically motivated and I’m not interested in what they say.

I understand that you have an addiction problem yourself and I am very sorry about that. At the same time, 50,000 Americans die every year from abusing opioids that they’ve become addicted to thanks to massive overprescription by doctors. That is a crisis. I do not know the solution to it, because cutting off an addict from her drug of choice has terrible consequences as you well know, but this IS a crisis, not a ‘crisis’.

I’ve not had a Pain Pill in over 6 yrs. So how could I be a addict.

I just understand more. I’ve nearly died of OP drugs reaction, and Neurological reactions Bentyl, the nurse had not even back her drug cart out of the hospital room when they started. OA drugs ruined my Gastro tract. I’ve a totally degenerative spine with Stenosis, calcified Lumbar, and all the crap that goes with being 71 with 5 Freaking Autoimmune’s.

There is a ILLICIT OPIOID CRISIS. And all those Trade deals helped usher them in along with Obamacare.

No. But the Democratic Party as a political institution has avidly embraced decadence and hedonism.
