        Some people actually need these painkillers for very legitimate reasons, prescribed by very legitimate Doctors, &, legitimately, take them as prescribed. They can mean the difference between giving up on life and participating in life when other meds don't work. MUST be monitored

        In medicine, the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing. I had multiple surgeries, & was always told to get off opioids ASAP. I always did (post-surgical pain was bad but opioid side effects were worse). (1/2)

        Making opioids available to terminal patients makes sense. Other groups...not nearly as clear. Anything to make a buck in the US. (2/2)

        I was prescribed opioids following a fusion and the Dr had me on them for 11 YEARS! I finally had to put myself through treatment a year ago! These drugs destroyed my family. Now at 50 I am starting over. I don't think I am alone. Sadly.

        This is the house that Jack built. Government facilitated and supported this model, designed to inform research and clinical trials. That it morphed beyond this is the fault of government failure, not patient avarice.

        Some people are in so much pain that they would die without these painkillers.

        How much did they give Tom Morino (Trump's Drug Czar) for the legislation he wrote to protect their opioid distribution from the DEA? #MAGA #AmericaFirst No #RussianSanctions proves #RussianCollusion enact #RussianSanctionsNow !

        But, by all means, let’s keep funding “the war on drugs”(how much did @KellyannePolls recently say that @realDonaldTrump was allotting 2the war on drugs?)A “war” started during Nixon’s administration&that a member of the Nixon admin would later say had racist &political motives:pic.twitter.com/yLgqunzjcq

        Painkillers,I know,can Ba lifesaver. BUT, let’s just say 4the sake of argument- how fast could we legalize marijuana(0 overdoses)across the board if, say, #JeffSessions &the rest of congressAND #BigPharma could make a buck from its legalization? Marijuana isn’t, yet,as profitable

        We have an effective model for how to respond to the opioid scheme - big tobacco -isn't it way past time to put it in play?

        If you needed a prescription to get nicotine what do you think big tobacco would have done this is business it’s not personal Michael

        Yes, correct. The Oxy Pharma has profited mightily for decades, is well known in NYC philanthropic circles.
