  I agree. Our Commonwealth will have marijuana stores soon. Perhaps some of the tax money could go to fighting addiction. But you & I know better. It won't. Greedy politicians will use those funds to better their careers.

  You seem to forget about those living with chronic illnesses, who take opioids as prescribed by their doctors to improve their quality of life.

  When you look at the actual substance of his remarks, @realDonaldTrump spent a whopping 49 seconds talking about his "plan" to end this #opioidcrisis Most of which was the same old "law and order" fear based garbage. We need a real plan! https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-opioids-state-of-the-union_us_5a710f6ce4b0be822ba15d39?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009 …

  Let's keep in mind being an addict is a choice. What gets you in is the same thing that can set you free.
