    Three Native American tribes are suing opioid manufacturers and distributors, alleging they concealed and minimized the addiction risk of prescription drugs. http://abcn.ws/2FkZyGl pic.twitter.com/C6leSnSJ9J

        Why don't they sue alcohol distilleries for failing to warn that abusing that product leads to alcoholism?

        I hope the courts rule in favor of the people on this one which will set precedent for many lawsuits to come. Opioid addiction causes permanent changes to the brain. No compensation will ever cover the lives lost to the #OpioidCrisis.

        When are people going to realize it's the people not the pills. If you use them as stated. Guess what you won't have an issue. Americans want to blame everyone but themselves. The spoon made me fat! The gun made me shoot people. Just stop.

        I hope they are successful! The opioid epidemic was built on the greed of these companies and they keep getting richer while thousands die!

        And they should! These drugs are highly addictive even when taken as prescribed. Some peoples genetic makeup leaves them vulnerable to addiction. Few of us are geneticists (able o check our genes for the one gene that leave us vulnerable). Don't judge, it could be you next.

        So, Indians can’t metabolically process alcohol according to medical science and now complain they were hoodwinked into dangers of opioid use.....Personal accountability has seemed to left the reservation

        They’re looking for a handout. They should take responsibility for their own actions.

        Just when you thought this country thought of everything to screw over the Native American population, now we’re thrusting our Opioid epidemic on them. I hope they win the case, then put half of it on Black at the tables...Black always wins.

        Drug abusers are irresponsible “assholes” because they suffer from the disease of addiction. Both my sons died from it. Sorry you suffer from pain but glad it’s not addiction. Words matter & add to stigma preventing treatment.

        I'm truly sorry for your loss. No parent should ever have to bury a child. I've had 8 back surgeries in the past 14 yr and tried everything but going to a witch doctor. Opiods are all I have. So, I find little compassion for those who abuse them and make my life more difficult.
