#illicitfentanyl &#heroin are what's killing people. 80% of overdoses attributed to prescription medication included an average of 6 substances, including alcohol. Depending on the substances involved, overdoses were counted more than once. Someone is profiting off this massacreThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Miss brook i am hoping that u get the facts that addiction is due to the receptors in the brain so therefore u are born with the gene for addiction and they do have blood and DNA testing for this and i believe that before a child is given any medications nor anyone they be tested

It coincides with the mass increase in drug testing, but it's no coincidence. Drug testing CAUSED the overdose epidemic.

Compare the PDMP data from cannabis legal vs. non-legal states and prove whether more or fewer prescriptions are being written.

The CDC also admittedly inflated & conflated their OD stats. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5659223/ … Did you know they count multiple substances in an OD as multiple deaths for a single person?
-
Also I saw where you tried to claim we use 80% of the world’s opioids, which is a myth. https://www.politifact.com/missouri/statements/2017/may/10/claire-mccaskill/mccaskill-cites-long-disproven-figure-opioid-use/ … Please refrain from using statements that have no factual backing.
