        Start with the fda: the enablers, bigpharma,distributors,doctors and pharmacists should clear up 90% of all drug deaths.

        Trump is going to ruin himself and the Republican Party if they jump on board with this. Libertarians should fight hard to win seats in any areas Republican's who support this are running.

        You can legally be a ‘drug trafficker’ if caught with more than one gram of weed that you planned on smoking in some places. This is idiotic.

        Hard to put the Genie back in the bottle. Prescribing less opioids will help those that are not yet addicted, but prescribing less opioids for addicts will only lead to them using street drugs

        We just had 3 people over the age of 80 busted for selling their oxyContin so they could afford their other medicines and food! They DESERVE the death penalty for sure!
