    Stigma is our biggest killer & a significant barrier to addressing addiction. It’s so important to have a community based solution that cares for the whole person, not just addiction, like ⁦@GreatCircleOrg⁩ #RecoveryIsPossible #RecoveryMonthpic.twitter.com/dhTRlKj4pl

        Stigma is an official public health tool in the battle against smoking. Unlike ANY other public health problem.

        Why do we have gullible and clueless ppl in important government positions? We keep telling these knuckleheads that it’s herion killing ppl not Rx opiods. But they insist that everyone who requires RX opiods is an addict. A simple google search would confirm your clueless.

        We can't have possession continue to be criminal and then talk about removing stigma. It just doesn't work for the holier-than-thou crowd.

        U. S. Surgeon General, please address the false sense of power that Pharmacists are currently wielding when a post op patient, or their representative, brings in a valid Rx written by their surgeon for pain meds, and is denied, and treated like a drug addict! Walgreens!

        But not everyone is addicted, yet our government has stigmatized #opioids to the point that EVERYONE is addicted if they take pain meds. We are #PatientsNotAddicts... Stop this insanity—people are dying because they LOST the ability to have a semblance of life without pain meds!

        This is absolutely true. We must remember that addiction impacts families and communities as well and if not addressed will tear families and communities apart. #paven.us

        Misinformation about Kratom from the FDA to the American people and government agencies is also a huge issue.
