Obama’s first chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.. that this philosophy of how you could get done within the legislative process.
“Things that we had postponed for too long, that were long-term, are now immediate and must be dealt with. This crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before.”
Maybe I have not seen it… but.. I have not seen much of the DEA/law enforcement having press releases on much of this Heroin/Fentanyl mixture that has been confiscated and the people involved with its distribution arrested. Likewise there has been little public announcements of oral doses/tablets of Fentanyl being sold on the street. Keep in mind.. there is no legal commercially available oral Fentanyl doses made in the USA.
There is another old saying within legislative circles….“Horror stories don’t make good laws… but… they do cause laws to be passed”
Is someone… some entity.. putting these two philosophies together to create some larger agenda. On one hand we have various states that are making Naloxone – up until now can only be purchased by prescription – to be mostly purchased as a over the counter medication. We have guidelines to restrict/limit the amount of opiates that someone suffering from documented chronic pain… but.. the number of time that a individual is revived with Naloxone is unlimited and – as a society – we provide little/no mental health therapy after a person is revived… and the failure rate of those that do get therapy is a high percentage. It would seem to be like a revolving door and like a virtual ATM for those who operate rehab facilities.
Those with addictive personalities are suffering from a chronic disease… but.. like chronic pain.. our society does not seem to provide long term therapy… just short term fixes. Our “boat” is LEAKING and we are trying to plug the holes with CHEWING GUM ?
CINCINNATI (WKRC) – Cincinnati emergency crews responded to 30 heroin overdoses in the course of one day Tuesday, August 23.
Officials said most of the overdoses were located in the west side of Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Police Department said in a statement Tuesday evening they were not sure of the exact cause of the increase yet. They warned anyone who may be using dangerous drugs to be aware of the increased danger.
Three people overdosed in one house and one man overdosed while driving through an intersection. Another overdosed with his child in the car at a gas station. Fire crews worked quickly to save as many lives as they could.

Perhaps the families of those pain patients who commit suicide should put out some horror stories of their own. Make sure it’s known just exactly WHY they chose to end their lives rather than continue suffering with no relief in sight! Be sure to tell all the gory details. Perhaps then someone will start listening! If I end up with that choice my husband has my directive to do just that!
Your husband will have too,,sadly for your death would not be recorded as ,”death due to l untreated physical pain from medical illness,,” it would be recorded as an o.d. or suicide or accidental o.d.,,,,not the truth of course,,,but I asked my senator for a box on all coroner reports for exactly that,,death due to untreated physical pain from medical illness,””her reply was ,”prove it,”,,,,,They refuse to record our deaths as untreated physical pain,,,,for if they did,,,there would be a legal record of the torture and genocide Dr.Government has willfully committed,,,fyi,,maryw
