        It’s embarrassing; it’s not a policy, it’s a childlike and thoughtless reaction that bears no relevance to the problem. A page from Duterte’s playbook and failed social policy from the early 80’s here in CA. A setback to all of us trying to draw attention to this major PH problem

        Every time he speaks about it or when there is a hearing on this the chronic pain community is here jumping up and down waving! Hey what about us? Responsible pts cut off abruptly,no wonder black market is out of control. Many are hopeless & intractable Pain must be treated.

        We cannot arrest our way out of an opioid crisis. We cannot arm our way out of a gun violence crisis. We cannot colorblind our way out of an inequality crisis. All policy should be based in evidence + empathy. Evidence + empathy.

        Totally agree. If not already implemented discharge planning regulations and enforcement needed. One 2-5 day prescription-No refills. Opioid Agreement Letter/Pre- Counseling Forms signed prior to discharge also depending on severity prior to discharge. #NoCapitalPunishment😲

        Seriously, read "Dreamland." It opens and closes in Portsmouth Ohio. Much research and well written. The business model he describes from Mexico is incredible.

        You obviously haven't had a child die from a dealer's fentanyl. It happened to family friends, not me. The dealer called and called until the clean victim relented and relapsed. Read "Dreamland." Dealers can be heartless and kill people. Death sentence does not sound outrageous.
