War on medical marijuana only destroys lives and wastes money while filling the pockets of opioid companies. Exactly the reason prohibition did not work. Pointless policy that fills jails with poor and ignores rehabilitation while blatantly ignoring its benefits
Americans are now more likely to die from an opioid overdose than in a car crash. This is a public health crisis we cannot ignore. As president, I’ll fight to end the opioid epidemic — and take on Big Pharma for fueling this crisis nationwide.https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/03/21/704557684/fentanyl-linked-deaths-the-u-s-opioid-epidemics-third-wave-begins …

Mitch McConnell used nuclear option to tamper with Supreme Court, budget trick to ram through 1% tax cut and has consistently worked against the people. He’s up for re-election. If everyone who read this chipped in $5 we’d flip Kentucky

You mean more likely die from ILLEGAL
#opioids. Stop implying safe/legal FDA approved meds are the issue. Opioid prescribing-the lowest since 2010 yet ILLEGAL ODs at a record high-will cont to climb. Gov’t needs to get out of the MD office.#painpatientsvote so do friends& family -
Most if not all of opiod deaths come from people taking the drugs “for fun” and are illicit prescriptions. Tell me the number of people who died from taking opiods with legal prescriptions following their doctors orders exactly as prescribed. The number will be almost zero.

Car crashes are also a public health crisis that we can't ignore. Traffic deaths are preventable; we currently choose not to prevent them. Through better public policy & safer street design we can stop hundreds of people from being killed & maimed by cars every day.

Car crashes are also the #1 killer of kids. As president would you also fight to end traffic violence?

Do FOIA to CDC & all states 4 detailed breakdown of overdoses. Ask how many were
#PAIN pts w only valid Rx in tox report. After u perform due dilligence, then make plan based on findings. Ignoring vital needs of millions who've exhausted all other therapies is not right answer. -
DYK
#CDC counted homicides, exposure to lethal gas, assaults & NSAIDS in overdose deaths? That 1 OD was counted multiple times based on substances in tox report? 1, if had 4 drugs, was counted 4 times. That CDC admitted flawed data which = false stats? How much have u researched?
