The Left has gone FULL BLOWN RETARD.. no doubt about it.

We are on the cusp of national civil disorder. What will the Left's leaders like Cankles, Crazy Bernie, Big Ears, and the others do? Will they incite their base further or work to calm things? I would guess they will do what they are told to do, by their wealthy donors.

They will incite the left further. This is the left pushing the nation to civil war. They tried race war but there wan't enough black people to really make a difference. They have socialists, communists and the college indoctrinated. Now they believe they have the numbers.

The awful arithmetic of America's overdose crisis may have gotten worse

Seems to be an equal opportunity destroyer. Maybe we are seeing Darwin in action.

Drug overdose deaths in the United States rose 21 percent from 2015 to 2016...

US to Award $59 Million for Opioid Addiction Treatment
September 22, 2017 - The U.S. Justice Department has announced it is putting nearly $59 million toward fighting the epidemic of opioid drug addiction.

In a news release Friday, the department cited preliminary figures from the National Center for Health Statistics showing that drug overdose deaths in the United States rose 21 percent from 2015 to 2016. In 2016, a record high of around 65,000 people died from drug overdoses, driven by the opioid crisis. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the new figures Thursday, blaming opioid painkiller addiction for the rise. The 2016 estimate "would be the highest drug death toll and the fastest increase in that death toll in American history," Sessions said. "And every day this crisis continues to grow, as more than 5,000 Americans abuse painkillers for the first time [daily]."

Opioids such as heroin and the synthetic drug fentanyl were responsible for most of the fatal overdoses, killing more than 33,000 Americans — quadruple the number from 20 years ago. The Justice Department said about $24 million in federal grants would be awarded to 50 cities, counties and public health departments for creation of "comprehensive diversion and alternatives to incarceration programs" for people impacted by the epidemic. An additional $3.1 million will be awarded by the National Institute of Justice for research and evaluation on drugs and crime, prioritizing heroin and other opioids and synthetic drugs.

Also, $22 million is being awarded to 53 jurisdictions to support implementation of adult drug courts and veterans' services. And $9.5 million is going to juvenile and family treatment to "build effective family drug treatment courts and ensure current juvenile drug treatment courts follow established guidelines." In March, U.S. President Donald Trump named New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a former presidential candidate, to head the newly formed President's Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis.

Last month, the commission urged the administration to declare the opioid crisis a national emergency. "With approximately 142 Americans dying every day, America is enduring a death toll equal to September 11th every three weeks," the commission said in an interim report. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price said that no declaration was necessary to combat the crisis, but White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders later said Trump was taking the idea "absolutely seriously."

Just let nature take its course and the dopers will thin out....I don't see what they like about the junk anyway. When I had a hot tooth they prescribed me hydrocodone and oxycodone and both sucked at relieving pain. A simple 800 ibuprofen took it away fast.

Well since many of you are against opioid usage, I hope you all will be pushing for Marijuana legalization in your respective states.

Partisan politics is the most important thing to many people. They have to slam each other in order to get their daily high.

Real life doesn't matter much now, when you have a presidency which is just a popularity contests, and not about running the country, where Congress is doing the bidding of the rich and doesn't care about the people.

Yes, the US is on the way downhill simply because it can't manage to do anything properly any more.

All people who die from opioid abuse deserve consideration for Darwin awards.

It's so sad to see..... so many people given up on life....a wasted life

But hey, free choice is a spiritual Law

you want to end like that.... it's your prerogative.

So in the midst of this opioid crisis you hope we will all get behind the effort to legalize another illicit drug?

Yea, that's just what the doctor ordered.

Speaking of being spiritual, Americans have become increasingly secular, thus giving up hope altogether.

I think opioid abusers are defective humans. But, if we pretend that they're rational people who got hooked when they had to use opioids to deal with pain, then marijuana should have been ordered. Marijuana usage allows smaller doses of opioids to be used, reducing the risk of addiction.

When women start with the opioids is sad enough...

But when men start ....that is enough to make me cry.....

No words to express how I feel about it....

Exactly! I still have a bottle of 90 hydrocodone tablets they gave me when I was discharged from the hospital after my knee replacement. My daughter gave me a bottle of 200mg Ibuprofen capsules and that was the only thing that would kill the pain.

Clearly they will not.

Countries that have legalized drugs have seen a drop in drug use and addiction. Marijuana has been legalized in Amsterdam for a while now, but people hardly smoke it now.

When you tell someone they can't have something, they're going to turn and do it.

A lot of people turn to prescription opiods to cope with physical pain that is caused from an accident and other medical problems. Legalizing Marijuana would cut down the number of people prescribed those medications.
