This crisis of addiction can affect any American, from all-state football captains to stay-at-home mothers.

It’s a terrible addiction. It should be addressed. Sadly, partisan politics is more important.

Awesome! Finally something that hurts the individual causing the problem and not innocent bystanders.

Oddly enough, I wonder how people get so addicted to the stuff, I had pretty major surgery months back and was prescribed 325mg Oxycodone for pain relieve and I had to jump through hoops just to get it! You'd think I was a prisoner on parole, I was just out of the hospital, and had to make a special trip to my doctor's in PERSON, on the day I RAN OUT come hell or high water, if I was late, I lost pills, then to the pharmacy in PERSON, then could only get enough for 7 days (I was on it for several months). I literally had to aggravate my operation and healing to jump through the hoops just to get the stupid pills! I don't know how all these people are getting enough of this stuff to get hooked on it let alone enough to OD on. They must buy it off the street. BTW, no problem stopping taking it. I'm wondering if the whole "opiod crisis" is just another trumped up fake crisis.

Oh gosh. Thanks for the heads up. I don't want to go out tomorrow and use heroin, so we need the government to write laws.

Wow…we have drug laws and people are still OD-ing on drugs…. Amazingly our little gun nut buddy isn’t saying we should get rid of all drug laws.

Yes, let’s continue the failed “war on drugs” policies that didn’t stop drug use in the first place.

Because we don’t care about addicts.

People need to stop drug use. It’s not up to the government. Don’t take drugs and you won’t be an addict. Pretty simple.

Then the government needs to get out of the way
