Incoming WoDdies to tell us that these drug abusers don't deserve pain relief, but rather long jail sentences instead. Same for their doctors drug dealers.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The unspoken result of the War on (Some) Drugs has been the monopolization of the health care industry by the federal government. The Feds are in charge of it all, despite no Constitutional directive for it to be so.

The federal health care monopoly is precisely why health care costs have risen from 1.5% of GDP in the 1950s to 15% of GDP today, and rising.

The exorbitant cost of medicinal drugs can also be laid at the feet of the War on (Some) Drugs. The DEA has an explicit policy of encouraging manufacturers to raise their prices to match the street price of drugs.

All you rabid war on drug mongers are going to get exactly what you deserve someday when your entire life savings are devoured by health care costs.

If the Federali's would have expended as much time and effort on intelligence and protecting our borders as they do in abusing our citizens with their War on Drugs, the war on terror would be over. What a waste!

When the DEA revokes a doctor's prescription-writing privileges - as it did in Nelson's case - people in pain are often left with nowhere to turn, she said.

When did a bunch of Cops get authority to revoke a Doctor's ability to write prescriptions. That is like having the janitor decide whether to launch the space shuttle. Whoever came up with that idea should be lynched and then really messed up.

The DEA is a criminal enterprise.

Having to watch a loved one die of bone cancer or some equally painfull death and not be able to get them pain relief in their last hours because the government doesnt want them to become adicted would be enough to drive many over the edge..

This is no longer a govt of the people and by the people..

Buttle or Tuttle...we have turned into Brazil..the movie

It's good to know that a guy carrying a badge and gun with a degree in law enforcement from a community college knows more about medical treatment than a doctor.

America, what a country!

This is madness. The gubbmint is outta control on a lot things. This is just one of them.

Mark my words. The "free" citizens in the USofA are pushed every day further and further by the ever increasing encroachment of the marxist bullshit being spewed every day from the steps of the congress and the senate.

BITS is what I see.

I have updated my FMCDH (From My Cold Dead Hands) sign-off with the addition of (BITS).....Blood In The Streets, which I foresee coming soon, due to the enormous increase of the Marxist progressive movement being shoved down the throat of this failing REPUBLIC through the Judicial tyranny of fiat law, the passing of unconstitutional laws by the Legislative and Executive branches of our government and the enormous tax burden placed upon the average American to support unconstitutional programs put forth by Marxist ideology.

I do not advocate revolution. I only think of what I foresee.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.-- C. S. Lewis
