This should be read by Kolodny, and all of the other fanatics out there. You’ll see in black and white: the percentage of ppl who od on opiates that are chronic pain patients are .02% that’s per a study cited by the CDC https://t.co/k0gJUanOzL
According to the CDC, alcohol related deaths are 90,000 annually in the US. That’s 3x the amount of people that die from opiates. DEA-time to target bringing back prohibition. We all know people drink in excess and have no medicinal purpose. Time to act now and cover it all!!
#1 cause of deaths in the US per the CDC is heart disease. Perhaps the DEA should go after McDonalds and Burger King? After all, it’s the #1 killer in the US and shows no signs of slowing down.
Daily deaths from car wrecks - 1300
Daily deaths from tobacco - 328
Daily deaths from opiates - 92 DEA-unless you have an agenda fueled by political or other nefarious purposes, it seems the statistics show a gross prioritization issue?
Dr Chris Christiansen from Montana found guilty on all 22 counts. This will now embolden the DEA that MDs are criminals. Prayers to Dr Christiansen and his family.
They make doctors afraid to treat and this man is now found guilty for trying to help pain refugees in a state that view opioids worse than cop killers. This is a sad day for medicine, but an even sadder day for those suffering in pain. https://t.co/UNBXfgZatc
