1. "Opioid Crisis", …and what YOU OFTEN THINK ABOUT IT, …has NOTHING TO DO WITH INCURABLE SEVERE PAIN PATIENTS AND THEIR DOCTORS. THE MEDIA, in the interest of gathering viewership, HAS ALL BY ITSELF DOOMED INCURABLE SEVERE PAIN SUFFERERS, …and boy, …it comes around and 'rages' you…

2. I have lost a few friends because of fake pills with fetanyl.

3. Overdose deaths are higher than ever because fentanyl is mostly what's accessible on the streets and people are suffering. The pandemic has only exacerbated the mental health crisis in America and caused additional financial strain for many. Opioids are a way to cope and many people can't access their healthcare providers to seek support- either for fear of COVID or due to lack of appointments. It's a tragic situation that is causing so many more lost lives.

4. No 1: Don't Only Hope On Government's Responds On security Matter's And Economy growth.

7. Imagine that. Wonder why? Hmmm

8. It's amazing how drug addiction changed from "DRUG ADDICTION" to "OPIOID ADDICTION" when speaking publicly of caucasian addicts. It's like NIGHT & DAY … like BLACK & WHITE, no? Just 1 of the many little "tricks of the trade" used to disparage people of color.

9. America is in danger

11. For real? He did this to himself. For real?

12. Funny how the opioid pandemic is humanized but criminalized the crack pandemic 😒🙄

13. FML My heart goes out to the family 😌

14. They love lumping everything into the opiate category. For instance, one medication I take has a half life of 4 hours. Here in Ohio they have force tapered all of patients. We have to have monthly drug tests, pill counts, it's like being treated like you're a criminal. I shouldn't be treated like a criminal just because I have a destroyed spine. Shame on all these people. I would love to see these people deal with the daily pain I do, like many others, then still try to demonize these medications. The overdoses are coming from the fentanyl. Just pure shame on all of these people. On another note. I have my medical marijuana card. Only cost me $250 and 5% sales tax at every purchase. So yes, I know right away there are going to be people you should try marijuana. It's a tool, you keep in your tool kit. It's not a replacement. Just stop with the garbage and end the failed war on drugs. #FentanylKills #StopPunishingPainPatients
