        Meanwhile, we spent the better part of four decades throwing poor black and brown people in jail for street level drug dealing while these folks were plotting to wipe out a whole generation. And they're probably gonna get away with it.

        How can anyone be surprised at this? All they did was change the name from "heroin to "Oxycontin," and then peddled it to the masses like some drug dealers in white lab coats. And the people got HOOKED?! Ya don't say... SMFH.

        Hospitals are also causing great harm by giving patients far too much opioids after surgery for pain, claiming "it is the gold standard". Way too many patients end up in resp distress or failure due to opioids.

        @KenDBerryMD not to play down those in pain by any means, they need help! But I wonder how much Illness could have been prevented by an actual human diet instead of the AMA, FDA, ADA illness EXPRESS train diets!
