In the 60's & 70's it was sleeping pills and speed pills....Placidyl, Reds, rainbows, Quaaludes - etc, etc, etc.
We were schooled all over about how bad heroin is and "Do you want to be a junkie and have you life controlled by a drug?" Where did that go?
The feds stepped in and forced the drug companies to discontinue manufacture of most of these. It includes easy access forms of pain meds and diet drugs....
Now we have this epidemic of opioids and they do what? No more then run around in circles and point fingers. Uneducated and purposeful statements on Cannabis being the cause to deflect from the real problem....Has become almost a daily happening....
When we invaded Afghanistan. We removed the Taliban from power. Bad folks for sure. They did not allow growing poppies though. It's against the idea that you do no harm to others....We walk in and had no plan to replace the way people made a living....The no poppies rule was gone and the people went back to do what they knew how to make money. We squashed everything else for the rural folk.
Now we have a world wide heroin epidemic. New junkies fueled by starting on Opioid pain meds that were prescribed or obtained illegal, with no real control or clear way to wean off those that needed it....
Drug companies still making billions off of sales, many of those illegal!
All the bluster and hot air and nothing really gets done! They sure can't offend the big pharma as they send the politico's big money in donations.....
It's just another sign that the Government is owned and operated by big money! They don't really care! it's just something to keep us all afraid.....It's not going to change.....
It's time to throw out the politicians and start over! Change all those rules about corporate donations and lobbying. No more "super pac's".....It's time we made the politicians work for US and not for big business and the party!
Stand up to big pharma and say,,,That's enough! We are going to regulate where those drugs go. Who buys them in bulk and tighten the prescription laws and provide for those who may need to be carefully withdrawn from their use.....You had all better start looking to find new and less addictive methods for pain control...We're going to limit manufacture and slowly phase these things out.....
Do I sound pissed? A friends son, just died from a car accident under the influence of unprescribed Oxy use.
This was a good kid. Always helping, Happy, friendly, outgoing.....Never had a legal problem.....The cops better find the source before we do!
What a fucking waste of life!
In the 60's and 70's....The government had the BALLS to step up and do something about it!
Now it's "screw the "people"! "We might piss off that big money source of campaign funds.."
And some of you idiots, elected an egotistical oligarch for Pres. If you really think he's going to help you...You're fucking deluded!
