        Here's what you need to know: The War on Drugs (aka War on the Poor and Minorities) is a failure and drugs should be decriminalized.

        I swear the drug companies are suggesting doctors & dentists, use Hydrocodone for EVERYTHING. They probably get a kick back too!

        Makes you wonder. There was no reason for me to get this prescription. Completely irresponsible.

        Health professionals are getting either money or 'inducements' because NO ONE needs this level of painkiller UNLESS a specialist says so!

        Legalize marijuana. Not only will it help fight this epidemic, it will make the government billions in tax revenue.

        How else would you fix the issue? How do you think all these people moved to heroin? It was from Rx drugs like oxy and Percocet

        Gov't had a chance 2do something 30 years ago. Mostly affected Black & Hispanics at the time so they criminalized usage. Now, its a crisis.
