Read this and weep – AGs and National Opioid Agreement – nicely put CPs OUT IN THE COLD It would appear that many different parts of our federal and state bureaucracy are focusing on cutting the availability of FDA-approved controlled opioids. I guess that the DOJ/DEA was not shutting down practitioners’ offices fast enough. More and more people were being poisoned/dying by illegal Fentanyl, but the media keeps referring to all the deaths are from JUST FENTANYL. Never mind that all the lethal illegal fentanyl was coming from CHINA & MEX CARTELS. So the NATIONAL OPIOID AGREEMENT was to get the wholesalers to RATION OPIOIDS to community pharmacies.
STILL NOT FAST ENOUGH. Now, someone has talked the FDA into attempting to remove all extended-release opioid medications from being available. Opioid medications have been commercially available in the United States for well over a century. If one reads the “fine print” on the website to place your comment.

We have an estimated 30% of the population dealing with chronic pain. Just imagine how many chronic painers can hold down a job because of long-acting opioids, and if they lose their long-acting opioids, many may end up on Medicare disability. We all know just how generous Medicare disability payments are! Just imagine how many chronic painers will not be able to get a good night’s restorative sleep.
MY MONEY IS ON THE FACT THAT AG PAM BONDI WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT DENYING CHRONIC PAINERS ACCESS TO FDA-APPROVED PAIN MEDICATION
Below is a federal law signed into law in 1935 – 35 years BEFORE the CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT was signed into law. I am not an attorney, but 42 USC 1395 would seem to indicate that anyone in the federal government is prohibited from interfering with the practice of medicine. Regardless of this nearly century-old law, the DOJ/DEA is repeatedly doing just that – over and over and over again.
Is AG Pam Bondi going to arrest some of the people within her DOJ agency for violating many federal laws? She is shown in the above video, where she is talking about arresting judges who are under her DOJ agency and have broken a few federal laws.
Here is one of Pam Bondi’s re-election TV ads – running for FL AG – from about 10 yrs ago.

Why was the SCOTUS (9-0) ruling on Ruan/Kahn a non-starter?
