This is good from a politician’s perspective. It stupefies the electorate so they will believe the lies and continue to vote for them. Not only is pot legal in Washington state, Seattle wants to have supervised heroin shooting galleries so the junkies can use clean needles and be saved with Narcan if they O.D. Coming soon to a libtard city near you. Slippery slope there.

They had to save me with Narcan during my amputation last December because all the morphine and other opioids they were giving me for pain were not being absorbed and were building up or some such. I still don’t fully understand what happened.

It would help make the effects of marijuana more in line with other drugs if the DEA and/or Congress would reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I drug to a lower classification:

Schedule I

Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Some examples of Schedule I drugs are:

heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote

Schedule II

Schedule II drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a high potential for abuse, with use potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence. These drugs are also considered dangerous. Some examples of Schedule II drugs are:

Combination products with less than 15 milligrams of hydrocodone per dosage unit (Vicodin), cocaine, methamphetamine, methadone, hydromorphone (Dilaudid), meperidine (Demerol), oxycodone (OxyContin), fentanyl, Dexedrine, Adderall, and Ritalin

Schedule III

Schedule III drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. Schedule III drugs abuse potential is less than Schedule I and Schedule II drugs but more than Schedule IV. Some examples of Schedule III drugs are:

Products containing less than 90 milligrams of codeine per dosage unit (Tylenol with codeine), ketamine, anabolic steroids, testosterone

Schedule IV

Schedule IV drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a low potential for abuse and low risk of dependence. Some examples of Schedule IV drugs are:

Xanax, Soma, Darvon, Darvocet, Valium, Ativan, Talwin, Ambien, Tramadol

Schedule V

Schedule V drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with lower potential for abuse than Schedule IV and consist of preparations containing limited quantities of certain narcotics. Schedule V drugs are generally used for antidiarrheal, antitussive, and analgesic purposes. Some examples of Schedule V drugs are:

cough preparations with less than 200 milligrams of codeine or per 100 milliliters (Robitussin AC), Lomotil, Motofen, Lyrica, Parepectolin

Are You familiar with Levorphanol ? I've been taking Morphine ER 100mg for over a year. That's not doing the job anymore so the Pain Clinic switched Me to the Levorphanol 2mg Tabs, 1 every 6 hours. Heck, those don't do squat ! I may as well be taking Baby Asprin!!!

And then there is the Cost:

No Insurance from $2431.43 - $5642.04 for 120 count.

With Insurance it's a $3.00 Copay.

This stuff has been around since the Late '30s - Early '40s in Germany. So SHOW ME WHY THIS PRICING IS THIS WAY...???

Stock - I'm sure they are.

This is why SUDDENLY we have an Opioid Crisis- so they can create these "pain clinics" and control every aspect of Pain Management while dragging out Meds from history and charging these outrageous prices.
