Cruel *and* stupid. Elderly/disabled who (1) have long-term addiction will be forced to taper off too fast; or (2) have legitimate need will be forced to choose between severe pain or street drugs. Likely result: uptick in overdoses (from street drugs) and suicides (from pain).

That’s one of the reasons for the increase in heroin usage: people in severe chronic pain are cut off from access to legal pain medication due to ever-increasing irrational (and inhumane) govt regulations on opioid pain relievers.

We must also question governmental desire 2 make Kratom a controlled substance, despite yrs of independent research that indicate it is a safe & effective source of pain relief. Is the govt hand-in-glove w/Big Pharma & working 2 protect their profits instead of citizens’ health?
