A painful struggle: Opioids can be dangerous, but restrictions — or a ban — are worse (New York Daily News) or How the CDC won't be held accountable because the media won't do their damn job (www.nydailynews.com)

Deny people in constant pain a supervized, effective pain relief, because for some reason long term opioid use is a moral issue.

But long germ use of metformin isn't, long term use of antidepressant isn't, etc.

After weeks, months or years, people in pain buy painkillers from drug dealers who don't know or care about how pain management. But they do know how to get them shitfaced high on euphoria playing with dangerously high doses for recreational use.

People get hooked, highly likely to OD on Fentanyl because it's relatively cheap, but can kill you with a small pinch of it because it's so potent.

The more the government drills doctors to reduce opioid prescriptions, stop giving prescriptions for painkillers, send their patients away with drugs that will not alleviate their pain but make them give-up bothering trying to get help for it...

The more the street drugs and overdoses become.

Maaaaaby the strategy is not the correct one.

It's probably very difficult to balance people experiencing chronic pain and their access to opioids, and those who need it on a temporary basis while balancing addiction risk. There are likely innumerable edge cases as well. However ultimately giving people personal responsibility is the best option of course.

The media only cares about advancing the globohomo agenda. They could start running stories about illegal alien crime for a few weeks and completely upend the DNC narrative. The same goes for everything, BLM, stop Asian hate, ...

As a person who deal with chronic pain, I'm already having a hard enough time getting help. I don't need this shit to get worse.
