The Opioid Epidemic is Just Out of Control

[Lewdog]

Here is an article about a town I grew up close to, lived in and worked at for many years, and how the heroin problem has just devastated it to the point they were considering a three strikes rule. If you overdosed three times, after that they would no longer send the EMS to you and save your life, you'd just die.

The entire area between Cincinnati and Dayton is just full of it. Middletown, Hamilton, Franklin... they are all having a huge problem with heroin. There was a video not long ago where a couple OD'd while driving on I-75 just north of Cincinnati and their lives were saved. It's crazy.

Thank you liberals for wanting the war on drugs to come to an end. Liberals are doing the drugs, which means that with the epidemic of opioid addiction, more liberals will be killing themselves, along with aborting their children, Democrat Party will never gain power again. I salute you Democrats for actually making the world a better place.

I am not the one wanting to put drugs into my system, why are liberals wanting to end the war on drugs? That makes them sadistic fucks, I am just pointing out how much of losers the liberals are, who want to kill themselves. By the way that was Sarcasm, which I knew would piss you libtards off.

Poison the supply.
Crime rate goes down
Usage goes down
Treatment costs go WAY down

It's not like we need those people.

Treatment is better than prison where they educate people on how to make and sell more drugs...

WTF is wrong with you? This isn't political. Drug abuse crosses party lines. People of all different political affiliations are dying from this. You do realize that Ohio is a predominantly Red state? Kentucky and West Virginia where this is also a HUGE problem are RED states...

Being a liberal has nothing to do with addiction.....Just ask Rush Limpbone..

I don't know, I have been prescribed Hydrocodone and similar things many times for various pains, after surgery, my back, etc. It was always effective and caused no problems. I took the pills as needed, got better then went on with my life. No harm, no foul. Good stuff. People don't get hooked or whatever because the doctor prescribed it, it messed them up because they abused it and messed themselves up. Everyone taking it has the power, if they want to, to simply STOP TAKING IT, if it starts having more control of their lives than desired.

Heck, when I was a kid and got earaches, my pediatrician always prescribed Paregoric! That is a tincture of opium! Real good stuff, it really worked, took the earache right away, not like most modern medicines. I don't think you could abuse it anyway as it was camphorated.

The problem isn't the drugs, it is the people taking them.

It is self correcting problem!

Three people OD'ed in Toronto this weekend, hundreds, maybe thousands a year OD in Vancouver each year. It's sad, and I wish people would resist the use of these killers. The worst are those who encourage others to try out these killers and get them hooked, to hell with all of them!

Heroin is much much much more different than hydro.

I remember my first visit to my wifes doctor, I was getting bad headaches. He prescribed a couple of products and the pharmacy was conveniently located on premise. When I left his office I had forms in hand and the pharmacist smiled at me as I walked towards them. In one motion, I crumpled up the prescription and threw it out in the garbage bin nearby. She gave me a puzzled look as I walked out.

Bottom line, I don't like stuff in my body, I am a firm believer in the bodys natural ability to protect, defend and heal. Obviously there are times it is unavoidable, such as when I had my wisdom teeth pulled. Even then, I halfed the dose given to me and didn't finish the entire prescription (which I am told is a no-no, but regardless).

I think everyone has a vice whether they have found it or not, I am not going to ever tempt these demons if I can avoid it.
