        ,You can look at the study "Effects of the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign on Youths" which depicted gross harms of drugs. The researchers said it was "unlikely to have had favorable effects on youths and may have had delayed unfavorable effects."

        Yet another reason to regulate not ban #Kratom @SecAzar. Kratom shows incredible potential as a much safer alternative to traditional opioids, especially in long term #CPP. Kratom has little risk of addiction and doesn't cause respiratory depression. Why ban it? #KeepKratomLegal

        that's true for many things besides opiods. let's not get so carried away as to make them unavailable to those who need them.

        We are deeply concerned about #opioids and are closely paying attention to @POTUS Donald Trump’s initiatives. Our recent meeting at @WhiteHouse gives us hope that something is being done to address this critical problem.

        It's important for patients and health professionals to engage in dialogue before prescribing and dispensing. #safeopioiduse #opioid #medsafetymatters

        Get off the dime about narcotic medicines. The problem you’re after is illegal drugs. Give patients a break.

        A misleading infographic: as if fentanyl isn't legal nor prescribed, & it is both. It can be used safely, as prescribed, comes in a patch & changed every few DAYS to keep meds slower release & thus doses lower over all, so pain is better controlled w/less chance of dosing error.
