I'm against the Reagan war on drugs. I don't do pot, but don't believe govt should criminalize it. That is a massive waste of taxpayer $ and human capital.

I do think trump needs to come down like a ton of bricks on Dr's that are overprescribing opioids. I'd ban big pharma from marketing opioids, ban any gift at all to any Dr from a company that sells opioids and stop this at the source. The medical community and big pharma are group zero of this mess and trump should starve their profit incentives.
You think advertising is the problem with opioid addiction?

Doctors are writing the prescriptions. They're doing so because they don't want to get sued.
Doctors are writing prescriptions because it's the easy way out. Medicating and masking makes it go away -- until the next visit. They aren't being paid enough, particularly those in rural areas where the opioid problem is most severe, to spend the necessary time to fully diagnose and treat the variety of ailments they are seeing. And their patients are on Medicaid so the reimbursements are small and the paperwork too big to do lengthy evaluations and true treatments.
I think we're saying pretty much the same thing (and again, advertisements have nothing to do with it).

Almost every doctor will tell you that chronic pain (particularly chronic back pain) is a problem between the ears, not in the back. Why it manifests itself like that, I don't know. But, it's no coincidence that opioids and marijuana are effective in treatment.

Everything you said is true, but the fact is that litigation has forced pain to be treated as a symptom and doctors get sued when patients come in reporting pain and aren't treated for it.
LOL- My sciatic nerve beating through my leg like a knife and waking me up in the middle of the night is not mental... Neither is not being able to walk after sleeping on a bad hotel mattress.. that is not mental and you will never convince me otherwise. I hate taking medication- hate it- avoid it..I have never abused opiates - not even close. Chronic back pain to the point of tears is not mental..lol
Are you telling me that your doctor prescribed you opioids for a nerve issue?

You realize that's doing nothing to make you better and just making you dependent on the opiates, right?
You realize that you are full of excrement, and an asshole, right?

If you really want to get triggered, we can move on to medical marijuana.

Me telling you that you are an asshole is not triggered, just a statement of fact. Roses are red, violets are blue, and USN Hokie is a full of excrement asshole.

Irritability is a sign of opiate withdrawal too. It's also a sign of being a butthurt Hillary voter. Either way, Gob bless.
