Severe chronic pain is a medical condition, too, so why do we give preference to drug addicts over law-abiding citizens who cannot get adequate pain medicine to relieve their suffering?
The opioid crisis doesn’t discriminate, and neither should we. As a community, we MUST commit to #EndTheStigma around mental illness and addiction, because recovery IS possible and EVERYONE deserves the chance to lead a healthy life #PrayForDemi

Discrimination against chronic pain patients is exactly what is happening. Pain is not a one size fits all scenario. Do not use Demi's mental illness and addiction issue to further CDC's manmade opioid crisis. Chronic pain patients are not the ones that are overdosing.

I love how when it’s a drug problem it’s a mental health issue. But when it’s a gun problem it’s a gun issue. Why can’t we all focus on fixing and funding mental health institutions?
