My heart breaks for every family affected by this. My son passed away this summer from fentanyl poisoning. Opinions of people who die from overdose needs to change. These are people, not throwaways. These are sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters.
I am truly sorry. I can't imagine the pain & loss you must feel. There has been a stigma on those that use & thankfully it is slowly changing. These people are loved by someone & have gotten off on the wrong path but they are still human beings.
❤❤❤ praying for you! I am very sorry. Know you are loved
I lost my best friend to this..
@@MyLifeWithJ so sorry to hear that...it's so sad how many people are dying
@@terrid1030 thank you
So, the only person in jail is the low level Drug dealer. Got it.
As usual
Yes, the one that sold the drug that killed this ppl. If you are implying that law enforcement didn’t do enough, allow me to tell you that it is almost impossible bc of the depth and complexity this type of business posses. No way to take them all. You take as much as you can without disturbing the research done by law enforcement. Plus, you can only arrest when you have enough to convict bc if not, you are wasting prosecutor’s time and resources. A law enforcement agent need to know the depth so that they can act accordingly... so no, they can’t take all drug dealers and ppl involved (even if they want, they can’t) or your IR will reach a dead end.
@@bestforyouall right low hanging fruit
@@bestforyouall I think you miss the point....the government can do something to fight against it....you know hard weed is to get in Japan? Korea ? Hk? Jail time is high and the government tries really hard to keep it out
The China virus II....fentanyl
dealing with extreme pain, you do what it takes
It ain't just about being in pain though. Both fentanyl and heroin are considered to be extremely addictive drugs. They can produce an intense and euphoric “high,” and dependence can form quickly.
@@crand20033 Quality of life lessening pain is worse than opioid addiction.
@@crand20033 Chronic, severe pain can only be tolerated for so long -- as in days. Chronic pain with little relief is shirt route to suicide.
@@B_Bodziak I totally understand that but but some people use those drugs for the sole purpose of getting high and they are no in pain at all. Even kids can get into the parents medicine cabinet and steal them to get high.
@@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits I agree but that's not always the case. Some people just see them as a way to get high.
My nephew died six weeks ago from an overdose, last week my sisters brother in law died from an overdose. This is still a problem.
I’m sorry for your loss
I'm sorry for your loss
If you do drugs its your own fault...
@David Quirk your a low life pos
Thats why they get for doing drugs
The US has made it so hard for people to receive pharmaceutical for people who really need it for quality of life it forces them to take drastic measures.Im in my 60's with severe arthritis and my Dr. said there's nothing he can give me for my pain with all the new regulations.
It’s sad that the criminals are making it so the people who really need the meds cannot get them.
Much like making stricter gun laws are gonna create problems for law abiding citizens.
Sad sad times.
Kratom is legal in most states and helps with pain. I've been taking it since 2016 when I have back pain. It works very well and you can't overdose on it. Different strains help with different needs. Its 100% organic.

🤣😂🤣😂
hahahahhaha
Good one.
I have a relative that was brought back after he OD'd and it does really make you think. My sympathies to the people who have family members who were not brought back
I’m a recovering addict of heroin/ fentanyl. The sad reality is that an addict will do whatever it takes to get their drug of choice. Whether it’s going to a corner in the neighborhood, getting it brought to them by a dealer, or going online and getting it sent to their house.. we can fight and fight and fight and pass laws and make restrictions but we have to start with the addict. Get them help right away. Get them rehabilitated as soon as possible. Addict need as much support as they can get from family friends and even peoples they wouldn’t expect to help them. Please, I beg you, if you know an addict PLEASE understand they have a disease and that the stealing, lying, and everything else that comes along with it is their disease. An addict’s v addiction comes first no matter what. Please stop the stigma and help your loved on be the person they were when they weren’t sick. Everyone deserves help, and everyone deserves chances. Help save a life, it doesn’t take as much time and energy as you think. Please. And god bless every single addict and family member who’s lost someone they love. We can all make this world a better place if we open our hearts up and see what the real problems are.Thank you all.
You're much better off microdosing. Its no wonder you had problems taking as much as you did
Yup, now instead of users and distributors buying the product straight from China, now that DC forced China to “crackdown”, the Chinese factories now just produce all of the precursors, instead of the final product itself, straight to cartels in Mexico, ready for quick manufacture. This has, along with other factors, helped to dramatically increase the levels of cartel violence, so now in addition to an overdose epidemic, we also have a rapidly evolving threat to national security. I’m no libertarian, but this seems like the sort of problem those guys love to point out where the government only seems to be able to make things worse (and don’t forget that it was the federal crackdown on prescribers that caused swarms of people to turn to street opioids in the first place). I guess to look on the bright side, the pandemic forced them to lower the barriers to entry for medication assisted treatment and certain harm reduction programs, which is at least a small step in the right direction.
Your comment will save lives.
People are in PAIN. They make it so hard to get Tylenol 3 or 4. It's leaves people feeling helpless and desperate. It's sad when one has to turn to the street for help.
Dutch,
The feds don't want the public to have access to painless methods of suicide
They know that. And they don't care. They want you to suffer and do something stupid such as buying heroin. And they want you to overdose and die. They don't care
@@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits theve got this place fked up. As free Americans we shouldn't not worry about pain. And a pers6who has cancer really shouldn't worry about it and their doc shouldn't worry about addiction.... sorry to hear about your friend.
@@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits I mean we live in the greatest nation in the world supposedly. We should have access to our needs not as a selfish person or a spoiled brat, but as a problem solving nation. We shouldn't be demonized for our need for pain relief. In this area we are moving backwards.
@@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits I agree with you 100%. Try and stay safe and healthy.
Post office opens every damn package I get from Amazon for my kids but these guys are getting fentanyl from China?

There is more pressure to catch counterfeit Gucci,Nikes,etc

My son died 5 years ago from overdosing at a party on a line of cocaine mixed with fentanyl. The friends freaked out and left him in his car to die. He was a great kid. Prom king, scholar, and signed a baseball scholarship. Well loved guy. This stuff kills FIRST TRY. Not a day goes by our family doesn't think of him. My heart goes out to all affected. My ex-wife went on an information crusade to stock Narcan kits in every police car in her surrounding counties and educate about Georgia's Amnesty law which gives legal immunity to people calling for help in an overdose situation. ALL STATES MUST HAVE A VERSION OF THIS LAW!!! God bless all the unfortunate souls out there...
We should go further than regular amnesty laws. We need to go legalization. If people can legally get it stuff like coke and oxy wont be laced with fentanyl, and people can actually get help without going to jail.
Sorry for your loss

I think I understand this description of what a family of a drug addict goes through …
End the failed war on drugs. Prohibition never works.
Yup!! We're watching this video because things like opium, morphine, and clean heroin are illegal.
It works for those benefitting from it & I don't mean just cartels & dealers.
We have lost the cold war against China. They are literally killing us by mail! Now that Joe and Hunter are in power, this will get worst.
Don't be silly. 47,000 people died from fentanyl overdoses alone. That's with it moving through the black market and organised crime syndicates. And you want to open the flood gates through decriminalisation. Then nobody is accountable.
Think of the strain on the medical and hospital system alone.
Very, very dumb.
@@firefightergoggie If prohibition ended, people wouldn't need to use fentanyl. They could use safer things like opium, methadone, buprenorphine, oxycodone, kratom, or even heroin. And those drugs could be sold in measurable doses from reputable sources, most likely reducing overdoses to a fraction of what they are today. Nobody does fentanyl because they WANT to. They do it because the DEA has outlawed every other more preferable (and safer) substance. Look up the "iron law of prohibition". It says that as prohibition increases, drugs just get smaller, easier to transport, more potent, and therefore more dangerous. The drug war had it's run and it obviously failed. You said it yourself, 47k people dies last year alone. Time to try something new that science actually supports.
I have overdosed twice. The struggle is real. They are serving death out there. Lost so many friends its not funny.
Stop doing those types of drugs to get high, problem solved.
Stop being a Crkhed
@@lynfl9814 by the grace of God I was saved from 27 years of daily drug abuse. Feb 9th 2019 first time in 27 years I had a clean UA. Thank you for your kind words.😇😇
A point to work toward -"I don't have any friends that take drugs nor do I have any friends that have friends that take drugs."
John Doe addiction is not as easy as “ stop doing drugs” it invades your life, thoughts, and free time and most victims of addiction need a strong support network to avoid relapsing. Please stop making such ignorant harmful comments
Since they put this drug in the same category as legal pain relief drugs and made it sound like anyone who needs to have an opiod is a druggie, the ones who really need are now having a difficult time getting a legal prescription for it. And are being treated horribly for it.
Exactly the problem. Some chronic pain patients need these medications to function.
And the folks in chronic pain that desperately need these drugs cant get them from legitimate doctors. They are the ones that die the horrible deaths-not the junkies in the street.
soon it will be time to decriminalize so the government can actually step in and do something
Tonight we congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs...
Congratulate China on winning cold war using drugs. They are literally killing us by mail!

@@chridin You’re very welcome I can somewhat relate to you, I lost a really good friend last year who died from an overdose after a long battle with depression and even suicidal thoughts. I also tragically lost my dad to an overdose sadly of heroin and I miss him everyday. 😔💔😢 I’m glad you’ve made the changes hopefully needed for your life, 💛🙏🏾💛
@@michaeld.williamsiii9026 my friend also had a long battle w depression and suicidal thoughts. I did not leave his side no matter how much he told me it was hopeless until he went to rehab and came back a year later. I thought he was going to be ok after that, because he came to my work to see me and he was sober. It was one of the happiest moments of my life seeing him smile back at me, looking healthy. Sadly I was distracted with other things so that is the only time I was there for him after rehab. That will always be my biggest regret in life.
@@michaeld.williamsiii9026 sorry again to hear about your friend and your dad. I cannot imagine going through what you’ve gone through. Stay strong my friend
We've lost the war on drugs
war sucks. We need common sense and intelligent choices. Drugs never ambushed anyone on the way to (insert social activity here) I know, some love a good god damned war but education and awareness...dont lie to kids that weed kills them or makes them junkies. If we never learn to discriminate we all gonna die from stupidity.
How can one lose something one never wanted to engage with
Cheers

I been using for 3 years fentanyl and it's horrible not because I can't maintain simply because you end up dependent every 4 hours you need a dose anyone reading this trust me it's not worth it please stay away from it.
I'm hoping to get clean anyday it's a struggle but I realize I need help and I want it so I'm praying for a brighter future who knows the long term effects I'm doing to my body wish me luck guys

Great reporting 60 Minutes. This report is indicative of what is currently occurring all across America.
Why can’t people just do what they want. Blame blame blame. YOU DONT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT MONEY.
Its definitely about the money. The fire chief of Huntington WV said a few years back; she would bankrupt the entire city to save one addict. She said she has addicts she’s revived dozens of times. It’s ALWAYS about the money...
Living in America is such a hardship,everyone must stay high ,just to get thru the day

Wow, they confronted a known drug lord in his home country. Dangerous stuff.
When there’s demand there will be supply that is how the world works

@K Maxx
Huge number of addictions have started from taking pain medication to treat real injuries.
Where there is multibillions spent to addict children to drugs... there will be a supply. That’s how the world actually works.
Do you still Think we don't need the Post Office to be the only form of moving products and mail? The Model of Homeland Security should be The Mail is an extension of the Department of Defense . There should not be any other delivery system to assure National Security . Working for the mail Service should be like working for the military , with all the retirement security and benefits . It's that important to our country .
This is a good 60min I have to say
It's almost like things were better before they locked down the oxy
They were. It’s been proven the Oxy crackdown caused people to move to heroine to prevent withdrawal
There is an easy and obvious fix. Make ALL drugs completely legal and cheaply available at pharmaceutical grade to all citizens of age. Black market goes byebye and all the money spent on the war on drugs can be spent on helping those with problems that want help. Decriminalization in Oregon was a nice first step I guess but full legalization with high quality drugs cheaply and easily available while simultaneously helping actual addicts reconnect with the world would be a proper solve along with some serious progress on the psychedelic research that will likely be a helpful part of treating those that want help
With all the hysteria of the opioid epidemic we’re not getting help for another decade or two if we’re lucky.
Great reporting, thank u Scott Pelley🙏❤
Kids, if you choose to do drugs, do them responsibly and don't let the drugs do you. Once the drugs get a hold of you and start doing you you'll have a problem and it won't be any coming back.

'Anglos caused most of the world's problems' (David Cameron, British Prime Minister, 2010-2016).
Anglo clans practiced centuries-long Slavery; from Caribbean to North & South America, by wiping out indigenous Native people originally living there, by replacing them with millions of slaves brought from Africa, by enslaving them and living off on their blood and sweat.
Isn't it shocking to learn that Anglo invaded nine out of ten nations, all but 22 nations in the whole wide world ? Moreover, Anglo practiced centuries-long Colonialism in over 50 nations, by living off on their blood and sweat, as well as on those bountiful lands for natural mineral resources, which were essentials requirement for industrial revolution.
Anglo still Colonized many parts of the world, including two vast bountiful Continents; North America and Australia Continents.
Anglo caused centuries-long notorious global -
- Slavery,
- Colonialism,
- Colonization,
- World War I,
- World War II, and the list goes on.

@@rottenrobbie8466 May I remind you about the mega genocide of indigenous Native Americans, and their population in Continents of America 500 yrs ago was around 15 millions, while European population in Europe was around 25 millions.

I agree, about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners indigenous Native American people.
Notorious global cardinal crimes Anglo West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why is notorious Colonization still lingering on?
@@olefella7561 Imagine what it would be like today if Native Americans had possessed some sort of nuclear weapons to defend themselves, and their beloved motherlands from invaders Colonizers?
The answer is they would still have their own beloved motherlands, plus their population comparable to that of European population.
Imagine this scenario, if Native American people cross the Atlantic, invade and Colonize Europe, and slaughter most Europeans, and put the remaining populations in tiny reservations, for 500 long years. How would Europeans feel about it?
Think about it. All they need is their beloved motherlands back, the lands that their ancestors forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for generations.
finally good reporting from 60 news
I'm on 50 mcg/hr fentanyl patches and 3600 mg Gabapentin as well as 20 other medications, I can’t have any more because of respiratory difficulties. I really don’t see any appeal I'm just exhausted and certainly don’t feel anything close to a high.
My heart breaks for both the addict/patient, and their families. These are insidious drugs, disgusting makers, and high level dealers. Addiction is a medical condition and gangs and cartels exploit that.

I was addicted to fentanyl, it is such a hard drug to get off of. It's so addicting. I went from having 15 thousand in my savings account to being in the negative $700 every two weeks after I got my paycheck. I'm finally off this stuff. I'm on methadone and I'm doing good trying to get out of the negative still. I know I will do it I just have to stay strong and not associate with those people again. I feel for everyone that has lost family members to this disgusting drug that has flooded the streets.
Yet they fail to mention all of this could of been avoided by ending the war on drugs.
A lot of government institutions would close down and those that work their would lose their jobs. So that ideas is out.
End the war on drugs it's not working it's time to wake up have an open mind and look for other solutions like instead of treating addicts like they are criminals and help them it is a medical issue unless that addict is stealing robbing etc

the accused old man and his wife look ordinary Chinese retirees. One translation mistake: his wife said "don't make false claim" rather than "don't speak"
Yeah I don’t think the old couple had much to do with it
There were a lot of bad translations. She also kept saying they've never been to the US etc but seems like they just wanted to paint a different narative
I've had both oxycodone and fentanyl. Both for gall bladder. After a really bad gall bladder attack that persisted for weeks they gave me fentanyl in the ER. It was like a miracle. All the pain was gone, just totally gone, in about 15 minutes. The oxy was the painkiller for after the subsequent op to remove the gall bladder. I knew when I took the first one how addictive it was. If you have never had it, I can tell you it feels fantastic. I can see why people seek it out. I never sought it out afterwards though, I just finished the prescribed course and never took it again. I often wonder why I didn't get addicted when so many do. What tips the scale?
It’s your decision in that moment you decide that you liked it so much you’re willing to get another dose for temporary satisfaction... that decision alone results in addiction
@@Livetoeat171 I agree with you, but I wouldn't be so cocky as to suggest I am stronger because I didn't get addicted. Perhaps I was just lucky, and in a good place in my life at that time? What I do know is that these substances are highly addictive, from personal experience. For me, taking oxycodone was nothing but pure pleasure. I loved it. And that's the problem, I can see how easy it is to get seduced by that feeling.
@@darrenvenn I think you get addicted when you decide to take more doses when you don’t really need it anymore.
US always blaming other countries for their addiction problems.Colombia, Mexico now China...who's next? Norway?
More powerful than heroin? Wow.
If someone wants to buy it they should be able to. It’s their life
Underrated comment.
top class journalism!
Legalize drugs
Cheaper to give drugs to people for free. It's true, advanced EU countries have found it is the cheapest and smartest solution for mental health.
Yes,they should legalize it and control it. Hand it out n prescribe it like they do with methadone n stuff. Take it away from gangz n stuff that make money from it. That way,atleast the government will be able to control it n take it out of the hands if criminal organisations.
Amen !
Playing Russian roulette with your life , here people overdosing with cocaine,drug dealers putting fentanyl in cocaine.This information coming from medical examiner
Coke is a upper and fentanyl is a downer... so I doubt that. Most likely the people were doing speed balls but not coke by itself... its the exact opposite of what they want to be buying lol... no customers would come back.
@@spin-cthrowshands5553 You wouldn;t think so but people are putting Fentanyl in everything these days
When did this air?
That mans father was spot on
Our law enforcement,first responders needs to be trained for this. It's very deceiving and dangerous. Losing a family member to this myself, I feel for everyone who has.
Whewww, I guess its good that our new president has a history of being tough on China!
He will put Hunter on the case!

Whats a good site?
In a country where the internet and every mode of communication is fully controlled by the government, it is hard to believe that this is being done without the full involvement of the Chinese Government.
If not out right involvement its certainly indifferent
Thank you CBS good reporting and a reminder for those of us who have studied these bad dudes. Sick 😷 that China could even behave like this.
Lol the US is the emeny of China and has been bully them since the day the nation was founded. They dont need to show their emeny any mercy
why import it then? its not china's problem, 100 years ago China was fighting an opiod epidemic of its own, the British and the Western powers blame China for the addiction, just like the whole world is blaming America for its addiction. Just make your border customs so strict that people cant import in Fentanyl, its not about China selling, its about US buying, cant clap with only one hand.
I think it’s pretty indicative of how American society’s going when people are resorting to ordering poison in the mail 😂
Couldn’t agree more .....I want to find my way out of here ...I hate living in the United States ...I could possibly leave... I just haven’t found the motivation but I want to get out of here because there’s no fixing any of these issues here....ever
I lost my friend to Fent. He choked on his own vomit from ODing
Rewind all the way back to the ancient time of 2019 lol
As a nurse, before we have access for patient's administration, we have to have two nurses to check, it's locked away and sign 2 books as it's controlled drugs. All cd are carefully counted and measured by two to ensure no overdose. How in the world it's easily accessed? 🤷🙄🧐
It arrives from China.
But it's also a FACT, that the medications that can help addicts get off these drugs, Suboxone, costs $600 a month for the uninsured in AMERICA! Don't act indignant when WE/YOU have a solution that works, but is cost prohibitive!!! When American politicians start holding pharmaceutical companies as responsible as they are in trying to hold a Chinese National accountable, then we can solve the PROBLEM!!!
Get SMART!!!
that attorney has some perfect teeth!
If it’s so poisonous then how do cancer patients take them?
My ex died partially due to drugs, however; I worry that good things that come from China will be blocked because they want to prevent very bad things like fentanyl. Herbalists have trouble getting 'Ma huang' (herb that ephederine is made from) out of worry that methamphetamine will be made. Clean steroids aren't legal in the US, so people were getting clean steroids from China; now they're lucky if they can get real steroids made in a lab and not an unclean substance or one that doesn't contain the amount of the steroid they ordered. Psychedelics have great psychological and spiritual benefits, but these have been illegal in the US for decades and it's hard to get them from China (Obama banned psychedelic 'research chemicals' "thanks Obama" sarcasm.) I praise DC for decriminalizing mushrooms and Oregon for decriminalizing everything, though I do think that those on opioids should spend 1 week in jail and be offered 90 days in rehab (that the addict pays for by working in customer service for a variety of products while in rehab.)
It's called payback remember when England invaded China because they wouldn't buy opium 🤣
We didn’t really invade as such, we just used warships to bombard the cities and sink all the Chinese navy.
Arguably the most cynical and illegitimate war in modern history.
What has that to do with the US? And why should china sell drugs, when all civilized country have stopped many houndreds of years ago?
@@Oleerkilass - you get the death penalty for possession of fentanyl in China, and why does the US sell huge numbers of guns that fuel slaughter in Mexico etc?
But yes, the Opium wars have nothing to do with the US.
@@Oleerkilass please the US is so cynical the biggest drug market with the most drakonian laws people are serving life for being caught selling weed in tiny amounts Nickle and dime crap the money spent on drug war would have lifted empoverished communities and decreased drug use. PS it's going to sound awful but the reason they care now it's because it's not people of color it's white folks mostly.
@Lajd Hdhd - Britain didn’t invaded China, they didn’t need to.
As for you not understand if I supported the Opium wars - what do you think I mean by ‘cynical and illegitimate’?
Even at the time the Opium wars had no support in the UK aside from wealthy bankers and opium traders.
Naíve US Agent: "Boss, China's got all the drugs (not Mexico)!"
Agent's Supervisor: "China's got *nukes* . Mexico doesn't."
Naíve US Agent: "Dear America, Mexico's responsible for all of our drug problems!!!!! Mexico, Mexico, Mexico!!!"
Agent's Supervisor: "Well done. You're gonna like your raise & promotion."
Can I get the website information
LoL Amen ! Didn't even look like dark web
heart breaking
Man instead of a recreational drug, this is instant death is the equivalent of actinide pill but much worse!
West coast and east coast both...from honduras
There is no seller if there is no buyer. You can claim that you couldn't stop drugs because it's from China. But you can stop them to distribute to your home soil, but you didn't do enough. Those deaths are on your hands too
Lmfao c'mon man you guys really don't think the US gov is in on this as well as US pharmaceuticals ... If we REALLy want to blame someone for the opioid epedimic start with big pharma in the US who supplies it legally and the Doctors who get financial incentives to keep prescribing it lol 😂
Big Pharma is the largest lobby in Washington after oil. Of course they're pulling the puppet strings.
naw, naw you got it wrong. It's pronounced "Cheynah"! According to our dear leader Trump :/
Anyone got that link?
That fentanyl is scary! I had it in a patch when I had same day knee surgery. It did and didn't affect me.
This is whate the media is stretching the truth. There is a difference between this fentanyl coming in from overseas and a pharmaceutical grade fentanyl Duragesic patch. This poision they are shipping in from China cant be measured in a measured dose Just by touching or even breathing this poision could release a massive fatal dose into the blood stream. A Duragesic fentanyl patch availible by a prescription is fda approved for cancer patients that are tolerant to other pain medications. Duragesic can also be prescibed of label for chronic pain patients that are tolerant to other pain medications or to surgical patients on a limited y
treatment who need contiuos 24hr pain control. These patches release a measure dosage of fentanyl by transdermal route in micrograms per hour and continues to release the medication into the bloodstream over 72 hoirs. This prescription is not intended what so ever for patients who are opioid naive. These patches are a lifeline for patients with chronic cancer pain or other painful non-cancer disease processes when other opioid pain medications have lost their efficacy for the pain symptoms these patients suffer with daily. When this type of narcotic medication is prescibed the physican making the decision to use Duragesic for a patient has a list of criteria the patient needs to meet before they can dwtermine if a patient is an appropriate candidate for this type of pain treatment to be considered. New laws being enforced across the country in the wake of this opioid crisis which has already began changing the way physicians are choosing treatment for pain syndromes. Criteria for patients with the greatest need for opioid medication management is being thoroughly evaluated before their treatment begins and reevaluated periodically throughout the course of their treatment. Patients with pain symptoms not meeting criteria are considered poor candidates for opiod therapy and other tailored modalities of pain treatments will be given to these patiemts. When these modalities are effectively reducing pain in this patient population then opiod therapy is not appropriate. Upon reevaluation of these patients opiod therapy may beconsidered if the patient is no longer reponding to conservative treatment modalities and meets the criteria for medication management. The stigma of the opiod crisis is still a scar on the American conscious; however, the healthcare area has changed dramatically and patients reciving opiods for chronic pain are now reciving treatment under the guidelines of new scrict laws which are geared toward proper practice and treatment guidlines which protect patients and their physicians. These patients should not be demonized and neither should their physicians when laws and appropriate medical practice is being followed. Patients who need treatment with opiod pain medications need this therapy just like a cancer patient needs chemotherapy drugs or like a transplant patient needs immunosuppressive medications to keep their transplanted organ from rejection. Chronic pain patients should not be criticized as addicts and they deserve medical treatment with opiods beacuse its an appropriate medical treatment for them. It's unfortunate that the healthcare system and the pharmaceutical companies failed so many patients in years past. Patients prescribed pain medicine inappropriately found themselves looking to the streets and black markets once their treatments were abrubtly stopped. This is a serious problem that didnt have to occur at all when physicians can and should have safely stopped these patients treatments slowly overtime and with opiod replacement therapy when nessesary.. There would be a huge decline of patients turning to the streets for cheep illicit drugs. Our government can turn the tide of this epidemic without compromising pain management for the patients that absolutley need it to live a better life. There are citizens of this country that have never needed medical treatment for pain but they have found themselves in the grips of addiction to opioifs like Heroin and every other type of illicit drug that flood into our cities and most of our neighaboirhods. How did any of them have any kind of chance being free of an addiction when the are overexposed to the flood of narcotocs into the country. The government needs to think very radically. Thid isny hust a war on drugs this is an invasion targeting American lives. These are our family members and our friemds losing their lives to a foreign invader. These people need our help and if we dont find a way to do that this tradgedy will inly continue with our children and our grandchildren to come. These people caught up in the throws of addiction can no longer help themselvescan we really afford to continue to look the other way because, if we continue this crisis status quo then we are lost..

It is legal now to use drugs in Oregon.
Amen !

Don’t blame China
Yes
So the opioids are legally marketed like mints in the US and its China's fault that People who became addicted are searching and buying their products? For Decades the us "war on drugs" has fuelled criminal cartels around the globe. If you want People to stop dying from it, take care of them. We have done that in Portugal for Decades so it can be done.
Western blame China on everything. If you go to China to these pharmaceutical companies, they would be own by the western themselves 😂😂😂😂. It’s just crazy how western people believing this crap
China should take responsibility for their actions of exporting illegal drugs !!
