Good. How about you announce that you're going to seek more treatment options rather than throwing these people into jail and turning them into criminals.

I'm sure he'll find a way to blame Obama.
Maybe Hillary is personally cooking fentanyl in her garage, and George Soros is paying to send it to Ohio.

Opioid usage is decreasing in places where weed is legal. And increasing where it's illegal. Same goes for deaths via Opioid OD.
So... Yes. Opioid usage and marijuana usage have an inverse relationship.
I was asking about this earlier. It seems to me that it would be the case. Do you have links to any studies about this?

Our President is working wherever he is. You don't need to literally be in the Oval Office to do work.

I posted some summery articles on the previous page I found with a quick Google on my phone. But aVatiger has posted scientific studies that go into far more detail.

Alcohol is by far the most dangerous drug out there and has caused more chaos and havoc than all other drugs combined. If a person doesn't believe this then that person is naive. Its all about the money.
Alcohol has caused more havoc and chaos because of access and social acceptance. If coke and heroin were available at the same time alcohol was, you'd likely have more deaths from them. They're both more dangerous, especially in the short term. Not sure how you can even debate that.

I haven't seen anything about it. Probably running late since everyone is freaking over NK.

Malevolence tempered by incompetence.
That's all they are, again and again and again.

It's just Tom Price with Kellyanne Conway and a Mnuchin look alike on his side.
So far, basically, just saying "we understand it's an issue, and we need to figure out how to fix it"
Underwhelming.

Over half the "opioid" deaths that are reported are from heroin not medical opiates
And most of those people got hooked on "opioids" when they were prescribed medical opioids, and fed their addiction with heroin when their prescriptions ran out.

Time to crack down on prescribing doctors and pill mills. Going after users does not address the source of the problem.

Obama was in unique position to take care of this. He is absolutely at least partially responsible.
