The answer is simple. Execute all convicted drug dealers, from street level to kingpin. No plea bargains or slap-on-the-wrist prison sentences. It will not take too many well-publicized executions to encourage criminals to seek another line of work!

[RC one]

Blame the druggies. They always ruin things for everyone else.

[HarleyLady27]

Would Christie have the back bone to go after the Bushes??? or the Clintons??? there lies the answers...

[9YearLurker]

I think they are pushing to shorter and shorter prescriptions for pain meds.

But yeah, we overprescribe pretty much everything in this country.

Show an ID for cough meds and you probably get put on a list for increased surveillance. (Show that ID and also post to FR and you’re really in for an examination...)

[stylin19a]

great...more departments and more layers....

[snooter55]

TRUTH IS : A great number of chronic pain sufferers already engage that path - and STILL NEED meds.

Mind yer business . . . .

[bgill]

Sure, let’s throw more money at illegal drugs because addicts pay attention to the “Just say no” posters.

“TRUTH IS : A great number of chronic pain sufferers already engage that path - and STILL NEED meds.”

Another part of the truth is that some people have pain that is just way past that crystal-crunching hippie-dippy crap.

Multimodal...spit!

Nothing more than a way to kill time while you go through your day in pain.

[Nifster]

Relax....I did not say they shouldn’t use pain meds. I merely suggested that a multimodal approach is mist effective

[snooter55]

Indeed.

[donna]

Could the numbers be high due to shingles?

(Anyone have a bad case of face shingles?)

[Hugin]

Yep, Christie is a drug warrior and statist through and through. Not hard to guess what his “solutions” will be.

[numberonepal]

And the answer is WEED!
Opioid Abuse Is Plummeting In States With Legal Marijuana

[Redwood71]

This may be a job that Christie can get his teeth into (along with everything else).

[VideoDoctor]

Chris Christie to lead the administration’s efforts to combat rampant opioid addiction and heroin abuse nationwide.

Can't we allow the Darwin finalists an opportunity to finish the job of "thinning the herd?"

[JerseyDvl]

The anti-gateway drug? They had it backwards.

[numberonepal]

When have they not had it backwards?

“The answer is simple. Execute all convicted drug dealers, from street level to kingpin. No plea bargains or slap-on-the-wrist prison sentences. It will not take too many well-publicized executions to encourage criminals to seek another line of work!”

Our system of due process and presumption of innocence can never be as great a threat to a drug dealer’s life as are his competitors - yet dealers continue to deal, and when one dies or is imprisoned another springs up to take is place.

[Crucial]

What is Trump’s fascination with Christie?
