How will major media criticize this?

I'm sure this is in some way absolutely atrocious, but I'm not progressively liberal enough to dig up the atrocity. I'm sure Harry Krause or slammer will figure it out. |

I wonder if he's going to abandon the war on drugs and come up with some program that will actually work. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

"Since 1999, the number of American overdose deaths involving opioids has quadrupled. From 2000 to 2015, more than 500,000 people died of drug overdoses, and opioids account for the majority of those." I knew the stats were bad, but I didn't realize they were that bad. I'm glad to see some F'ing Progressive Liberal has come up with some negative to say about Trump's declaration. "Former Rep. Patrick Kennedy, a member of the President's commission on opioid addiction, told CNN on Wednesday that he worries the President and his administration are using the opioid epidemic for photo ops." Madcow will probably have more to say, although I've never listened to her. Maybe Luddite will give us the word. |

Just like alchohol, the solution will be legalization, taxation and control. It will also solve a huge crime problem. It's not a perfect solution but better than what we are doing now because it will put dealers, distributors, drug gangs and smugglers out of business. Users will still get addicted and over dose but that's happening now. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

If only there was a better way for some of his buddies to make big bucks over getting folks off opioids, eh? |
