        Because they’re being pushed by a big lobby that’s lied about their effects for ages. The opiod manufacturers are following the same script.

        This is profoundly disgusting, due to cooperation 'tween pharma's and Congress. And this will now be addressed.

        It’s just life people kill people, guns, bombs, vans, knives. Criminals won’t be affected by gun control. Drug companies big problems

        I did the search. Drug overdose kills twice as many as gun deaths. Does that mean if OD'S are reduced by 50% we can start to ignore problem?
