    Addiction is a chronic disease—not a moral failing. It is extremely important we treat it as such so that we can chart a course to end the #OpioidEpidemic. Join me in ending stigma and preventing opioid misuse by sharing my digital postcard. #MondayMotivationpic.twitter.com/ttWGhYxbXA

        “30% of opioid-related deaths in 2017 involved commonly RX pain pills, most cases involved other drugs. People who die typically did not become addicted in the course of medical treatment. They tend to be polydrug users..”https://thefederalist.com/2019/03/26/blaming-prescription-pain-pills-opioid-epidemic-fake-news/ …

        “assumptions about opioid analgesics are ill-founded. Illicit fentanyl/heroin, not opioid RX, fuel overdose epidemic. National discussion has often neglected devastating effects of uncontrolled chronic pain-at great cost to patients with pain..”https://academic.oup.com/painmedicine/article/19/4/793/3583229 …

        What can we successfully do to prevent tobacco use? Since more people die from tobacco. Vaping is 95% safer than smoking traditional cigarettes. Vaping WILL save your life.

        Oh I'd say it's a moral failing. All those big pharma execs? They knew & they don't care. All they want is money. They prey on the weak and the damaged, destroying lives, families, communities.. but hey as long as they can buy their way out of responsibility..
