    This is a crisis that is all too real to in OK. We must continue to assist families who are directly impacted by focusing on prevention, treatment, and recovery, & we must make every effort to bring non-addictive opioid alternatives for ppl who live w/chronic painhttps://twitter.com/SenatorLankford/status/1041824225437392896 …

        You count heroin, meth, bath salts & crank deaths in opioid deaths. All four are not made by the drug companies but by drug cartel. All the change in laws has not taken one pill off the street. Deaths by opioids monitor by a doc is almost zero. 5 pills of pain makes a druggie not

        Not all people because of other health issues can take OTC meds or and aspirin. You can't use a cookie cut each person is different. Try breaking a hip or over 40 bones at one time. A chronic pain patient can't get hook or high taking opioids doesn't happen.

        Ask a person with lupus/RA/OA tumor down the spinal cord, brain tumor, or cancer patient what it's like. The difference of doing lite house chores, cooking and even bathing the pain it can cause. Until you speak to them, your are worse than the problem.

        Dang, Karen. He didn’t say he wanted to ban opioids. There are many people that can use an alternative. There are people in severe pain that need them. I have bottles of the things from some surgeries, but I could tolerate the pain so I don’t take them...unnecessary px.

        You don't have federal gov't messing in your healthcare. I DO! I'll also seen what seen what has happen to others. I get to pick a med for my heart that my great grandma used, my grandma, mom and myself for 8 years now I can't have because of true drug laws; or pain meds.

        I've been hospitalized twice because of the change and one heart attack because of it. First changed of med resulted in a heart attack behind the wheel that killed a woman and I have to live with it so I take nothing to stop extra heart beats. Doctors not lawmakers know best.

        Mr. Lankford, most people who are true chronic pain patients don't get high from the medications that they take. Did you ever consider that?

        By non-addictive, opioid alternatives, do you mean Marijuana? Because that would be great. Push to legalize Marijuana and let’s really hit 1. Opioid addiction and 2. Illegal drug operations.

        At first I thought the whole thing was ridiculous too. But more and more are proving to be true. The Flynn and Manafort flips are going to blow this whole thing open. Manafort flipping has forced Trump to incredible measures....and trying to fire Mueller is coming in 2-3 months

        I respectfully disagree. In Hillary's own words, follow the$trail. That leads 2 the Clinton foundation along w/many donors. The corruption is undeniable Americans have the right 2know&when we seen enough we voted against her.

        Hillary may still end up jail someday - but one thing’s for sure: trump is in deep. This process has gone exactly as all the experts said it would. They got Flynn, Cohen and Manafort on easy charges and now they’re singing like canaries. He’ll be impeached but this Nov tells fate
