        So the ppl growing the coca plant and processing it should cut down on production, maybe that will reduce crack addiction, dependency, & associated issues. U know those who legally produce drugs. Do u c how crazy this sounds.

        Don't worry the makers of suboxone have it covered.already in the budget for millions of tax$$ to pay 4 it too. Medicaid and programs to give subs to inmates.btw subs are also an addictive opiate.

        Instead of outting people out of work, why not have those sales people call on their doctors and have addiction conversations: what problems are you seeing, this is how you should be weaning patients to avoid addiction.

        This is ridiculous. Now people are losing their jobs because Perdue doesn't want them pushing sales anymore. Does each drug have its own sales staff? Oxy is all they talk about to doctors? Is Oxy the only drug Perdue sells?
