For years we saw news stories and opinion columns about over prescription of opioids. Now that opioids are rarely used and people are dying in pain and from suicide, we hear almost nothing. Why the silence?

We could also accept that people like drugs and offer regulated, safer supply than what they're finding through the illicit market. We're not accomplishing any good with our approach now.

Andrew Kolodny worked hard to ruin doctors who treated pain compassionately. As a result of his efforts millions of patients suffer disabling pain that had been well treated. Their stories need to be heard.

Birth control confuses people. Here I'll explain. It allows people to prevent conception of a baby during sex. Then the couple can decide if and when they want children. Glad I could help.

The thousands of people treated with opioids over the years it was allowed are never referenced. They were quietly forgotten as their treatment was taken away. Together their experience clearly says opioids worked well.

Withholding opioids from people in serious pain accomplishes little other than virtue signaling. Overdoses are higher than ever. The illicit drug supply is adulterated with toxic substances. The suffering is for nothing. Do we really admire cruelty?

Well of course it isn't about harm to patients otherwise they would cancel many drugs. They just don't want to be purveyors of happiness even if the objectionable drugs have significant benefits.

People are suffering unimaginable pain and were helped significantly by opioids. Unfortunately through a national effort those life saving meds were drastically reduced or eliminated. After many suicides, there is still a vigorous effort to reduce opioids yet more.

Except many of us know from experience it is not equally effective for pain. Opioids are more effective for many of us. Still I want weed to remain legal. Let's work together.

The current opioid restrictions are so severe that the time we live in is dystopian. Ineffective and often harmful medications are being used to treat pain. So far it is hard to say that anything but serious harm is the result.

Yes. At the same time that opioids are severely restricted, meds with serious risks are widely used and recommended. The pretense that opioid restrictions are to guard against health hazards is so clearly bogus.
