Opioid usage is more dangerous or morally blameworthy than perjury? Okay.

 

[Not]

GOD fucking dammit.

How far backward are we going to go before we start crawling forward again?

 

[GreatestHits]

Welp

I'm pretty sure D Trump is here to piss us off

 

[IrishNinja]

Sessions about to fulfill his life long dream of being able to put even more black men into prison.

I'll bet this has absolutely nothing to do with those private prison deals.

Nothing at all, am I right?

it's so very transparent, god i was hoping he'd have to step down for the russia shit before doing real harm like this

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Go after Doctors with their MD/PhD degrees prescribing pills?

uh what? The medical community is trying to curb opioid abuse. Punish the ones that prescribe the most and after pill mills.
Many docs are pushing for the legalization of pot to fight against abuse.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

GOD fucking dammit.

How far backward are we going to go before we start crawling forward again?

By the time we're done, we'll be back to sticks and stones.

 

[theWB27]

Trump has the borders while sessions takes care of the inside.

 

[fenners]

This shouldn't be a surprise, it's utterly consistent with Sessions' policies for decades.He's ridiculously anti-drug.

He's anti black.

Backed my people who have MD's though.

Drug dealers in the form of doctors.

Edit:

uh what? The medical community is trying to curb opioid abuse. Punish the ones that prescribe the most and after pill mills.

Sorry. I just mean the people who write prescriptions.

 

[fenners]

He's anti black.

Not disagreeing with that at all. I'm saying he's anti-drugs at the same time.

 

[LegendofJoe]

I wish I was rich. I'd spend millions to find enough dirt on Sessions to take him down.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Sorry. I just mean the people who write prescriptions.

Totally. And they do share the blame along with pharmaceutical companies.
Did doctors who cared too much lead to the opioid epidemic?

and of course marketing opioids in the 90s as "non habit-forming." They said the same thing about benzodiazepines.

Who do you think runs pill mills? Doctors.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

War on drugs, cool,never tried that before.

 

[GreatestHits]

Cha-ching

Yes doctors get a cut too. It's how it works

Too bad weed is getting legalized

O wait

 

[yanipheonu]

Greatness tho?

 

[Jenov]

A small part of me was almost hopeful that the Trump admin might do something decent for once.... nope, all hope is dead.

 

[Seiryoden]

Sessions doesn't have the gig without the votes of the communities most ravaged by Opioid addiction. I wonder how this will play out...

 

[GreatestHits]

Methinks this administration will crash + burn

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Who do you think runs pill mills? Doctors.

And we should punish them.
As Opioid Epidemic Continues, Steps to Curb It Multiply

Can Pot Curb Opioid Craving?

Yasmin Hurd, PhD, is a Professor of Psychiatry, Neuroscience, and Pharmacological Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai. She is also director of the Mt. Sinai Center for Addictive Disorders. Her research has delved into the pharmacological properties of marijuana, and its potential as a drug to curb opioid craving.

In this doc-to-doc interview, we discuss the latest results of mouse and human studies of cannabidiol, which is often thought of as the calming yin to tetrahydrocannabinol's more anxiety-producing yang. This agent, according to Hurd, may be a valuable weapon in our arsenal against opioid abuse, but regulations may be standing in the way of further research.

They actually talk about Sessions in this video.

But this is politics not science.

 

[Timedog]

Don't prosecute til you see the blacks

Spoiler

...of their eyes.

 

[uncredited male]

I'm curious to see how they're going to wiggle their way out of going HAM on opioid addicts.

Collateral damage.

 

[GreatestHits]

Collateral damage.

Nah

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

This racist prick

 

[jon bones]

surely this will curb the heroin addiction that is crippling the nation, right?

 

[Darryl M R]

State's alt rights

I have never smoked but this will be interesting to see if they will attack weed. They then can not argue that you are for state's rights.

Spoiler

Watch them still do both

 

[nel e nel]

And we should punish them.

They are intricately connected. The reason we are getting draconian executive orders and memos like this is because of a complete lack - or disregard of - scientific expertise in the government. Read up on Tyrone Hayes and atrazine for an example.

 

[Strike]

GOD fucking dammit.

How far backward are we going to go before we start crawling forward again?

When white people are affected enough.

 

[commedieu]

A small part of me was almost hopeful that the Trump admin might do something decent for once.... nope, all hope is dead.

I'll never understand what basis people had to come to this conclusion. He telegraphed all of his horrors from his campaign and on.

Will never get it, just people thinking someone can't be this horrible, when they had a track record of horror.

 

[CrispyBoar]

Fuck Sessions.

Racist ass bastard.

I love that he thinks that he's gonna be around long enough to be able to get anything done.

Spoiler

Come on IC, put more incriminating info out there. Hurry.

Question is, when? Something needs to happen to him, Trump & the rest of the administration sooner or later.

 

[ugaboga232]

What did MD/PhD's do? We don't even make as much money

Spoiler

don't think PhD's can prescribe stuff either

 

[Byakuya769]

But Hillary supported a 90s crime bill so really the parties are the same.

I'm sorry, but when I learned she called all black men on the planet who have ever lived super villainous predators, she lost my vote.

Don't blame me.

she did no such thing

I won't bother defending her remarks, but she did not say what you think she said

A Washington city devastated by black-market OxyContin filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against the painkiller’s manufacturer Thursday, alleging that the company turned a blind eye to criminal trafficking of its pills to “reap large and obscene profits” and demanding it foot the bill for widespread opioid addiction in the community.

Trump wants to crack down on legal pot states too...

Oh look, another person who fell for the Kremlin's propaganda machine.

I understand Hillary is worlds better than Trump, but let's not act like the 94 Crime Bill was a success. Michelle Alexander broke down its failures and she's not a political hack.

It was a shit bill but we were literally having crack / coke assassinations happening. The country was a warzone. Context always matters for that bill, but people look at it in a vacuum. A lot of inner city communities welcomed it, believe it or not. Ending the war on drugs and therapy / rehabilitation would've been a much better solution, but we used the hammer nail approach. Where everything in the drug crisis was considered a nail, and a hammer was the solution.
