        @CBSNews It sucks for people with chronic pain (like me) that opioids don't even work for longterm pain relief and can make pain worse. ☹️

        @CBSNews Patient's about 3 out every 10 scripts ergo they make the choice to take pain meds and it could be worse.

        @CBSNews do you think it just might have something to do with the atmosphere created by constant drug advertising on TV?

        @CBSNews There has been a "social shift" its called heroin. People got addicted to pills then they got cut off. Result = heroin epidemic
