Hopefully he'll say what we've all been thinking for years, that the opioid epidemic was started by the CIA to keep the white man down!

I'd argue the entirety of human history has a bit more to do with it, but yeah, the taxation issue is a small component there.

This is one of the main problems.
However it starts with the drug companies encouraging doctors to overwrite these scripts.

Last week, the President's Commission on Combating Drug Addiction issued a recommendation that the opioid crisis be declared a national emergency.

Is opioid use less in states that have legalized marijuana? It seems like it would be. I've never seen any stats on the matter.

Marijuana legalization and pharmacy reform incoming?

So basically Trump will use this time to declare victory in a persobal defeat and harp on how he is great. He might even use the word "opioid" during it.

The first would have a huge uphill battle in a Republican controlled congress.

He does have a pattern. You have to admit that.

Over half the "opioid" deaths that are reported are from heroin not medical opiates....and I still don't recall this many people dying before the DEA ran out of shite to do. A few tears back they were supposed to be investigating the cartels in Mexico...instead they were partying with them and vaving sex with underaged prostitutes. There's a good YouTube video with Gowdy and Chaffetz going after one of the stooges they sent over to be questioned. It's one of the best ones.

In the past, no. With the way EOs were expanded under Bush and Obama...
No idea anymore.

Stand by for media to completely ignore that there's even a problem and try to fact check every word he says instead.

Whooooo boy I like these kind of posts.
Please state your definition of danger, and provide any sort of stat to back that up.
Yet again, define chaos and havoc and provide some sort of stat or any documentation of this. Columbia hasn't turned into an all-out warzone over liquor.
Poisoning the Well, a form of Ad Hominem.

If trump made marijuana legal it'd be a boon to the medical community. The addicts could get hooked on weed and bother the drug dealers instead of bothering the doctors for pills

If Teump was smart he would relate building the wall on our Southern border back to the drugs crossing, even more than the humans crossing. Docs write scripts to get people started on opioids and when they can't get enough legally heroin is the next step. Just like ADD meds then meth. Addiction is an unbelievable contributor to all aspects of crime and economic issues.
The border is the biggest source of entry for the illegal stuff. Time to shut it down and build that wall.
The wall detractors cannot fight that arguement.
