        I live in Indiana and opioids are out of control. Statistics show there 109 prescriptions written for every 100 people living in the state. Yet non psychoactive CBD oil is illegal. It’s sickening.

        This is so terrible. Pain pill abuse is a huge issue in Florida and many in my family struggle with the addiction. Also the abuse affects the patients who actually need the meds: it's become unfairly difficult to get pain relief now the rules are so stringent.

        Here is a different point of view, one I find more convincing than this piece, but harder to swallow because it has fewer bad guys and requires harder solutions.

        Completely false. Studies show addiction is possibly driven by neural inflammation which can be reversed. Also I have seen people get clean and stay clean. It’s a struggle for sure, but can be done.

        And the GOP help create the opioid crisis by passing legislation preventing DEA from enforcing the law against abusing companies.

        "2009: The Joint Commission removes the requirement to assess all patients for pain. By now, the United States is consuming the vast majority of the world’s opioid painkillers: 99 percent of all hydrocodone and 81 percent of oxycodone." Wow.
