We need to fight American soldiers guarding the poppy fields in Afghanistan. It starts there. That's the only reason soldiers are there. America has started the epidemic.

Do you think you will be able to nail them like the tobacco industry back in the day?

Which is pocket change compared to what the drug manufacturers make

And have the CIA stop bringing them in #UraniumOneScandal is more then just uranium it's opioids on the way back - opium

It's time to put the *real* drug dealers in prison - CEOs and all other execs of the pharmaceutical companies who *conspired* to profit from Americans' pain.

Yeah! You also gotta stop the drug war and realize everything you think you know about addiction is false. Then you have to stop trying to push policies that are decades to late and that drive up the death toll #OpioidCrisis
