    A person dies every 12.5 minutes from an opioid overdose--we need more access to naloxone and LESS access to deadly fentanyl. Glad to see #FDA and our technology partners are elevating this important public health issue.

        If FDA and DEA would concentrate their efforts on illicit fentanyl and heroin flooding this country instead of going after kratom tea drinking folks you might have the resources to actually put a dent in the opioid 'epidemic'.

        If you mean herion. Then I agree herion causes a lot of death. However gov lies is surpassing death via herion OD. Kicking CPP off there meds forcing them to OD on herion and suicides. Thanks to the gov linking legal Rx pain pills in with opiod epidemic lies.

        The best thing for this country right now is the natural herb #kratom ,that has already gotten Millions OFF of deadly illicit and Rx #opioids . The #OPIOIDCRISIS will explode if the 5 Million Americans currently using #kratom are turned into felons! #Iamkratom #kratomsaveslives

        #tragic what is happening right now. Take a look at @mswizzzard . Wait, you can't, because she committed #suicidedue2pain a few days ago after begging her MD for help. An amazing young woman full of life. Who's fault? @CDCgov @US_FDA @DEAHQ @SGottliebFDA it will only get worse!

        How do you justify free access to naloxone for drug abusers, yet allow big pharma to make hefty profits on insulin needed by millions of T1 diabetics to live! T1d is not a choice - opioid addition is!

        Let's be clear as well, these "opioid overdoses" are 99%illegal heroin Ana fentanyl.... not by #CPP patients/#kratom that take their meds correctly.

        They do this because. For-profit private prisons who collect large government contracts to imprison low-risk non-violent possession offenders. Basically the best kind of inmate, because they're unlikely to cause any sort of problem. I’m sure gotlibag has stock in this as well
