200000 die from opioid deaths

[tcxr750]

Congress voted to weaken laws to enforce rules that curb the epidemic. Tom Marino is the POTUS choice for new drug enforcement czar. The same guy who was instrumental in weakening the laws. If you have a friend or family member that dies from opioid overdose send your thanks Congress.
My neighbor is a policeman in a neighboring small suburb. Recently the mayor presented awards to six policemen who saved lives from opioid overdose that year. The demographic of that suburb is white middle class.

That was a very eye-opening 60 Minutes report on this matter last night.

What a clown Donald John Trump is to nominate Tom Marino as drug czar.

Meet 60 Minutes' DEA whistleblower - CBS News (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/meet-60-minutes-dea-whistleblower/)

Here is a link to the 60 Minutes segment.

BILL WHITAKER: Congressman Marino has been nominated to be the next drug czar. What was your reaction when you heard that?

JOE RANNAZZISI: Total disbelief. Total disbelief. He's just not qualified to do that job. Besides the fact that he pushed through a bill that's curtailing the ability of DEA to do their job, I don't understand how you could look at a congressman who's done all of this and then decide he would be a great drug czar-- to basically set policy for the United States; drug policy for the United States.

BILL WHITAKER: We will soon have a hearing with Congressman Marino. I would think that this would be an issue that will be brought up in his hearings.

JOE RANNAZZISI: The bill was bad. Him being the drug czar is a lot worse.

So congress is responsible for some drug addicit, it never about personal responsibility is it. So, I eat too much and get fat and it's the government fault, I drink too much and get liver cancer it's the government fault, I chain smoke and get lung cancer and it's the government fault. I walk in front of train and it's the government fault cause the government didn't fence in the tracks or pass law don't walk in front of on coming train. Laws are there for punishment after you break them. But, still have to have brain and will.

It would be interesting to know the make up of the numbers of "opioid" users into various categories.

For example what percent are hard drug users care less about the source of their fix and are they using Rx drugs due to accessibility/cost??

This is not to suggest there is not a problem. No matter the answer to the above there is an opiod abuse issue in America today.

There are people who get hooked on prescription pills for a variety of reasons often upon which they have little control.

So someone poking the down they're throats. If someone get's hooked on prescription drugs it's the doctor fault or the individual NOT following directions. How is law going to stop that?

A year after Prince's death, these questions remain unanswered (https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2017/04/20/death-prince-one-year-later-what-do-we-know/100180398/)

It would be interesting to look at some of the details of these opioid overdose deaths.

[billethkid]

There is obviously a huge hole/loop hole in the supply authorization/approval routine, to allow the volumes of pills being prescribed/dosed/knocked off.

It has to be caught up in the political/special interest spectrum to be allowing the continuation in the volume that is the current epidemic.

TAL, the point that was made was this legislation that weakened the DEA's enforcement was passed in 2015.

It now does not allow the DEA to research into drug users "private matters". It takes the teeth out of a lot of arrests of drug users and attempts to make us all think of it ALWAYS as an illness rather than the choice it often is. to It was not passed under this administration. Another legacy of the past one.

Yes it is addiction, but choices were made at some point and it is illegal as hell to do drugs. It is illegal to buy them...now we have to legally play "poor addict".

You are the perfect example, of why watching Faux News...is such a threat to the truth.

Who do you think controlled the Senate and the House (you know, the people who actually pass laws)...in 2015? :oops:

However, what you say is correct. I stand corrected.

I am so glad I don't have to live close to you or know anyone personally like you. YOU are not a gentleman in any way shape or form. Now I am going to put you on ignore. Your incoming fit will not be seen by me. Don't forget the fat old twit and the passive aggressive. YOU are one nasty guy. I feel so sad for MRS. Cold.

The fact that I consistently stand up for women, against the innumerable women haters/misogynists around here, means that your attempt to disguise my contempt for YOU behind the false accusation of being a female hater...is simply another one of your exposed lying, passive-aggressive tricks.

So sorry, but it is probably best that you put me on ignore because I strike bone so often on your falseness...it could be hazardous to your baseless sense of superiority.

Remember, it's YOUR false sense of superiority...and has nothing to do with other women.

And while I'm exposing your actual inferiority, I'll also let slide any denigrating comments toward your family or relatives...because I refuse to lower myself to your level. :ho:

While Baldwin is an equal opportunity hater toward anything that isn't a white male, old Bog99 might actually exceed him... in hatred toward females.

Last time I took a real look over here somebody was trying to get you to gold for a Benjamin a hole and you shriveled up and flittered away, seem to remember something wrong with your pants also, so after a few months I see you are making fun of someone's mother, sister, friend, someone's WIFE. Having visions of knuckle on another man's head Harvey? Are you thinking of the one on the shoulders.

So all the work you put in since I stopped looking over here has improved the world how exactly? O.I.C. :ohdear: Keep up the good work. Oh by the way how is the Russian thing coming along?

Too bad we won't be around in 30 years so you can see I've been right all along. America has gone from 90% white (it's heyday, #1 in the world) to present day 49% white and currently #25 in the world. We WILL be in 30 years 20% white. WHAT do you think an 80% minority America is going to look like? What's it's going to be like living here? Show me ANYWHERE in America that is 80% minorities and a NICE, CLEAN, SAFE place to live...just ONE. America is done, kaput, it will cease to exist. As the sh!tty slums expand into everywhere. They ALREADY force the minorities into the better areas with mandatory section 8 , "affordable" apartments.

Here’s another...lol

<quoted text>I have met Gracie twice. She is a gossip that loves to stir up **** among others posing as a friend. I know a few that have been the target of her attacks that will not even read TOTV anymore. She has insulted both men an women on that site for years. I have heard opinions, but don't really understand why TOTV tolerates the nasty bitch. She wonders into the Villages news . Com site occasionally but is called out and run off every time. The Villages news.com dooes not protect her hatefulness like TOTV does, so she is not tolerated by the frequent posters there. In closing, from someone that knows her personally, I don't believe she is dumb, but can verify she is EVIL.

Because we're sitting on the tracks and there's a train barreling towards us. The train is a minority majority...they outnumber everyone from age 7 on down.

You call me a racist...I want you to know why I am. They're breeding us out. They are the majority already. America will NOT be what it is today it will resemble the 3rd world...because it will be populated by 3rd worlders. We bring in almost a million refugees every year...most from Africa...they will go into the inner city slums and be a burden forever. They CAN'T mix into the general population...you don't WANT them mixing in!

Our politicians really screwed us when they opened the brown immigration tap.

If a woman has the right to kill her unwanted unborn baby because it is her body, then what is wrong with allowing these people to kill themselves by overdoses? It's their body. Good riddance. If they are that weak, they are not a productive member of our society and a burden to the rest of us. We should provide these drugs to lifer prisoners also. Allow them to finally contribute to our society by taking themselves out of the picture. Harsh? Explain to me the difference between allowing a pregnant woman to kill a part of herself and another person to overdose. They both know what they are doing and they are both self-destructive.
