        Did you use legal opioid medication for your pain? It's a simple question. No baby is ever born "addicted" to opioids. If you don't understand that, YOU SHOULD NOT BE SPEAKING. You are making some BIG mistakes. You're fueling a genocide of chronic pain patients. @AGPamBondi

        We have a guy who likely benefitted from using opioid medication who has decided to start speaking out against "opioids" - fear mongering nonsense that demonizes a lifesaving drug class as old as human history - and he doesn't even understand that babies cannot be "addicts."

        Call IT Heroin & IT illicit fentanyl. They are not the same as RX's meds. CDC admitted RX opioid deaths were significantly inflated n 2016 bc Illicit Fentanyl was included n calculations. Stop making Pain Patients sound like criminals & addicts. @DPPRALLY2018pic.twitter.com/gcfx05tKse

        Funny how things work. Sometimes we concentrate on recovery, treatment and prevention and other times we criminalize, prosecute and incarcerate. Why treat some drugs one way and other drugs another. Tobacco and alcohol may be the worst.

        It is a known fact that if a person overdoses and there is meth, cocaine and other substances involved, if there is one opioid, the death is blamed on opioids. Addiction Recovery Cntrs are few a far btwn in our country. We need more, but we need it to be for addiction alone

        When you were shot, you took opioids. Are you a Criminal or Addict? You are standing there by the grace of God bc pain meds got you through the horrific attempted murder. Why don't you stand up for Chronic Pain Patients who need these meds? @DPPRALLY2018

        Real agendas are being exposed. That lobbying money must be sweet. You all go ahead, keep lining your pockets with those shiny pieces of silver while you betray the very people you are there to represent. Why not, you'll make sure you get what you need.https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/22/house-opioid-bills-lobbying-637695 …

        In your personal understanding that pain meds are not all bad for everyone, not everyone bc addicted, but they do rely upon pain meds to control pain to get through ea day, What can you do to protect our pain treatment care? What will you do?

        You are living proof people need pain meds to survive injuries. You are not hooked on opioids, are you? How insulted would you be if someone called you an addict or criminal for just trying to take care of your severe pain? @DPPRALLY2018
