TMZ is reporting that the recent tragic passing of Prince could potentially cause changes in opiate regulation in the state of Minnesota.
The agency that regulates Minnesota doctors has reportedly said that it will no longer tolerate opiate abuse in the state during a recent meeting today for The Minnesota Board of Medical Practice. Members at the meeting are said to have asserted that opiate prescription practices are out of control and major changes have to be made.
Board members acknowledged the problem with opiate prescription practices in the state, and said that new regulations have to be put in place to monitor doctors and the writing of prescriptions.
Members at the event also claimed that doctors have been lazy about writing opiate prescriptions instead of providing medication in the form of less addictive and less dangerous forms of treatment.
Prince’s name was not discussed at the meeting, but one member apparently claimed the push was due to his recent death. Prince reportedly almost died from a Percocet overdose six days before he later passed on.

Meanwhile 1,556 American people die each day due to alcohol and cigarettes … Both alcohol and tobacco are legal and easily-accessed substances with no medicinal purposes and can create physical dependence on those who use them too often. They are also both fantastic forms of revenue for federal, state and local governments, as they are subjected to higher taxation than most products (aka sin tax).The government and their propaganda machines pick and choose their “epidemics” in whatever way can financially benefit them at the time.
(In no way, am I suggesting further restrictions, regulations and/or taxes on alcohol or tobacco products. I am merely pointing out the hypocrisy of the American government.)
WHAT OUT OF CONTROL???? if he was that much of an addict don’t you think everyone close to him would have known and the gossip rags like TMZ would have talked about ot long ago??? How often do/did we hear about Keith Richards drug use??? Ozzie didnt get cleaned up til after he marries Sharon and even then he was still using til she gave him an ultimatim. I really think when that tox report comes back, if it hasnt already and they’re sitting on it because they know they are wrong….he had therapeutic or sub therapeutic levels of oxycodone (narcotic of percocet) in his system and high levels of acteaminophen….which would explain why rhe narcan didnt work….he died from acute Tylenol poisoning……the symptoms were there. WAGS was probably trying to figure how to get a bag or 2 of Acetadote to his house and blood draws when he should have been in the hospital. This is my theory
