        Restrictions on what meds drs can prescribe stops none of the abuses. It only hurts those of us who are sick and in pain.

        And a pain medicine doctor will send you to therapy, yoga, and PT without making a difference.

        Most people who get addicted to opiods are not chronic pain patients. They're people taking opiods without a valid prescription.

        NYS must legalize recreational cannabis. The medical cannabis program is too complicated for those who suffer from chronic pain w/o opioids.

        Also, think of the millions of dollars of tax revenue we'd have to improve the lives of all New Yorkers, as well as repair infrastructure. 🤑

        Chronic pain patients are suffering because of this misdirected crackdown. They're left with inadequate pain management!

        While you're at it, please look into permitting medical marijuana as a safer alternative.

        Sure, except it's still illegal on the Federal level due to it being Schedule 1, and patients are basically still criminals.

        And why do you think we have pain? We have worked 2 or 3 jobs, heavy lifting, repetitive motion, and we are broken! Backs & joints ruined.
