      We sadly have a President and Vice President and their whole admitastraition. That absolutely doesn't care about American citizens. They absolutely do not care about anything but themselves. And I believe that it's unexceptable that Joe Biden isn't doing anything for Israel and it's citizens over there. And proving Iran supporting Hamas to murder the Jews in Israel.

      I'm an old timer . 62 yrs. When I was younger the last thing a dealer wanted to do was to give his buyers more than he had to; but at the same time they never, ever would cut their dope with something that could harm their buyers. Baby lax, stuff like that, which has got to be cheaper than what fent is: so my point is that there is something going on more than just dealers deciding to kill off their clientele. - even if dealers are handing the fent, why would they not cut it like they have every other drug ever: down to the point where it satisfies but never to the point they are not wanting to come back for more. The whole thing wreaks.

      I wonder if he feels lucky that his self-harming addiction isn't classified as a federal crime and that he isn't forced to seek potentially adulterated substances on the black market in order to fulfill his cravings and instead can make his own choices about what he wants to consume, no matter how damaging to his long term health, in an open and legal market where the likelihood of contamination let alone adulteration is such a vanishingly small risk that no one even thinks of it when making their purchases at a grocery store. Meanwhile the agency he works for likes dictating to patients how many pills of which substances and at what dosage the DEA arbitrarily believes is right for the patient for their ADHD, anxiety, depression, pain, and other disorders.
      They don't even care what doctors think, putting hard limits on the amount of doses of medications that can be produced based purely on their OWN idealistic idea of how much the DEA believes is "appropriate". That's why chronic pain patients are treated like drug addicts, those with ADHD are treated like potential drug dealers, Adderall is constantly having shortages, and we still have a very limited number of medications and treatments for serious life-affecting disorders that affect tens-to-hundreds of millions of Americans in their lives such as depression and anxiety.

    The government needs to get out of the drs offices. Elderly people are turning to the streets because their doctors are afraid to prescribe. It's ridiculous. First in 2006 the government over stepped and made pain the 6th vital sign with guidelines the doctors had to adhere to, even if their observations showed the patient was lying. I know i went to those trainings telling us no matter what, we weren't to judge at all. The intent was well meant so cancer, true pain patients and surgical patients were adequately treated. The addicts figured that out fast and demanded pain meds. Cant lie on the document when the patient says 10/10 as they chat on their phones laughing and heading outside to smoke.. even after explaining that pain level should have them crying in bed.. well no way around that.. so NOW, the gubbermint decided to reverse it wayyyyy too far. Leave the drs alone. If there is a weird excess THEN look. But the cheerleader could have gotten a legitimate prescription... but patients dont want to be tagged as "drug seeking" when they NEED a temporary help, or when permanent.. and drs irritated by HAVING to prescribe in the past are both a bit relieved and vengeful as well as afraid to prescribe. They dont want to be dragged into court or lose their license so the legitimate public suffers. Again.

I can go tell every addict on this planet ''stop consuming drugs'' but it will not make them stop using. Making drugs illegal doesn't prevent people from using them either so telling drug user to ''stop'' sure as hell wont either ! People use drugs some get addicted but the vast majority which we never hear about only ever use recreationally once in a while never becoming addicted because their brain just doesn't have the predisposition to dependency. Our society consumes alcohol to get drunk but getting drunk is basically getting high but why the hell should we outlaw alcohol just because some people go on to become alcoholics when the vast majority of those who drink alcohol to get drunk once in a while are not and never will become addicted to it ?

      You need to go read why people are Fat. See The Secret Life of Fat. It's a science book. If experts in it don't know. You definitely don't, either. Educate yourself.
