        Since the CDC's "epidemic" report, falsely blaming prescribed opioids for deaths from combos/suicides/diverted/illicit/etc., govt has been further restricting pain relief, by preempting individual choice/responsibility. The desire to blame drug manufacturers is destroying lives.

        You're SPREADING stigma formerly attributed to drug addicts to an already suffering group of chronic pain patients, by demonizing legal opioids. Addiction rates haven't changed - heroin addicts merely initiate on HEROIN today. Making pain patients suffer kills MANY MORE addicts.

        Addicts are overdosing more because govt wrongdoing - the hyper control and inaccessibility of LEGAL (reliably made) opioids - drives them to use risky illicit drugs. This NEVER had anything to do with prescribing, but the DEA fails so miserably at interdicting illicit drugs.

        I see so many people in govt "fighting" a fake crisis with old ideas. ALL OD's are fewer than deaths caused by alcohol, e.g. The only reason to single out legal opioids is $$. There's no epidemic. There are needless overdoses, caused by the inaccessibility of reliably made drugs.

        The idea that access to technology (i.e. guns/drugs) is a *cause* of problems (homicide/addiction/suicide) is wrong. There are problems we can't solve. Preventing individual error by restricting even potentially beneficial choices using probabilism is collectivist tyranny.

        Now that the "Florida model" is going national, a genocide is underway, legitimized using bad science. Suicides and overdoses are rising, and scam "rehab" and "pain" clinics will flourish. All because we've abandoned individual liberty. We also failed to learn from Prohibition.

        Blaming/controlling legal opioids because they're inhabited by a demon that "gets people addicted" is irrational, as is pretending people are too stupid to know whether pain medication benefits them. Our own govt is MARKETING cultist, conspiracy based, "big pharma" nonsense.
