How will major media criticize this?
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump...ry?id=50718774
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 |

The guy next door ended up hooked on methadone. It reminds me of people who got the gum to stop smoking and now they have a $250 a month gum habit. |

Methadone works, but it's a long, long process. I know of someone who got hooked on heroin when she was in high school, about 20 years ago. Started with Oxycontin following a knee injury playing soccer. She has gone through detox, rehabs, etc. and was put on methadone which she has been taking for years. The methadone caused her to lose most of her hair and she gained a lot of weight. I just saw her for the first time in a couple of years this week. The docs have been weaning her off the methadone slowly and now takes a fraction of what she used to take. Her hair is returning, she has lost about 40 lbs and looks great. |

I'll have you know my gum habit runs less than $15/month! |
