    Any plan to end the opioid epidemic must include ending the over-prescription of these medications for acute pain.

        Responsible chronic pain sufferers who depend on meds to function, to work, can't be made to suffer in the rush to solve this "crisis."

        Blessings to you for this. 10 years of Rheumatoid Disease and pain 24/7. Have NEVER taken one damned pill over my dosage but we will suffer. I’m scared way more by this than a war.

        If this crusade against our necessary medication continues, we’ll have to use attorneys to force doctors to provide medical care.

        Yes way too many. Instead of making the people that are responsible & need these to live at a level of normal feel like we are just junkies looking for a high. It’s been a very long time since a “high” from them. I just want to get out of bed in the morning w/o tears.

        Unfortunately, there has been almost no studies that have documented the pain relieving effects of cannibis...scheduling needs to change!

        This penalizes chronic pain patients who are already suffering unimaginably. We need to protect their access to these meds to manage pain.
