        No, prohibition doesn’t cure addiction. Fine the companies and use the money for treatment programs, then bury the executives underneath the jail. Lastly, vote out any govt official that’s being bribed by big pharma

        Limits on pills will not stop the opioids problem, it will only create a new one.

        The money made from addictions like these is blood money & decriminalization of marijuana would do much to curb addiction to these & benzos, which are just as bad. You will always gain a tolerance & therefore always keep needing more & more so other than short term they are bad.

        Might help from becoming addicted in the first place but it won’t stop the Opioid Crisis.

        65,000 Americans are killed each year by opioid addiction and Congressional GOP is turning a blind eye to the Trump Administration decimating the DEA’s ability to fight Opioid pushing drug companies

        It will at the very least slow new addicts being created. I got my bottom wisdom teeth out a couple years ago and they gave me 30 Vicodin. So reckless.

        Addicts will find a way no matter what. There are nurses stealing pain patches & licking them in nursing homes. There are many online stores. Who are we kidding here?
