ETHICAL GUIDANCE IN PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS
This article is a well thought out – well organized – proposed roadmap… it is NOT A QUICK READ !
The path/direction that the war on drugs has been on for 51 YEARS is not going to be changed by a single group or even a handful of groups.. It is either ALL HANDS ON DECK or the raising a “boat load of money” to lobby members of Congress or a dedicated effort to vote out entrenched politicians.
If you don’t think that $$$ don’t influence the member of Congress.. it is reported that collectively… corporations spend NINE + MILLION DOLLARS/DAY to lobby members of Congress to get Congress to pass laws that will favor their company or industry. Companies don’t spend THREE+ BILLION/YR on lobbying Congress if they do not see positive results.
While the DEA & CDC are REPORTING/ADMITTING that 75% of opiate OD’s involved illicit fentanyl – make in China & distributed by Mexican cartels – the DEA is proposing to cut pharma opiate production quotas again in 2022- reduced a total of abt 60% since their peak production in 2011-2012. It is probably just a matter of time before the Mexican cartels start distributing standardized fentanyl tablets. Our various bureaucracies are creating a huge market for the cartels – chronic pain pts who can’t get anyone to prescribe or dispense opiates for their valid medical needs. The Cartels have always been very good in Business 101 – find a need and meet it and you will make money… The chronic pain community – is RIPE FOR THE PICKING – All it will take is a few people to help the cartels to standardize the fentanyl they are getting from China and create standardized strengths of tablets – using the tablet presses that they already have. The rest of this decade could prove to be interesting
