@Faithgirlee @N8iveTucsonan @TiffJarrell2 @DanLairdMD @SenatorBraun @Sen_JoeManchin Unfortunately US & UN on same page re drugs, I haven't been able to find a country that would be a better situation for CPP. We must fight the antiAmerican UnConstitutional drug war on our own turf.

@Swohtz @DanLairdMD @DEAHQ Tobacco also kills people decades after quitting, & not just cancer - COPD, coronary, kidney, liver damage; causes damage to every organ system in the body. Opium, opiates, opioids-no perm harm to any https://t.co/sMNxdml3VK should stick to accurate label, no contaminants.

[Blue Balloon Campaign @BalloonCampaign]

@DessiF3 Yeah, bc un/under-treated pain don't have any complications. /s

@malus_k @Chronic_FLKeys @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorBraun @US_FDA @SenGillibrand Good to know. And just to show my dedication to data, here's some I've been collecting for the past year & a half:

@ravensspirit68 I think it's a divide & conquer thing - making CPP into 2 groups, as well as being convenient for those who argue opioid over a specific arbitrary limit is dangerous - when there's NO reliably deadly dose of opioids, as there is for iron supplements, detergent, cyanide, etc.

[Blue Balloon Campaign @BalloonCampaign]

@WickedDesire2 I wish that for you, too. Happy birthday.

@malus_k @Chronic_FLKeys @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorBraun @US_FDA @SenGillibrand BTW I was serious about thanking the person who took the time to tally the responses to Manchin's tweet. I'm all about the data.

[Blue Balloon Campaign @BalloonCampaign]

@Chronic_FLKeys @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorBraun @US_FDA @SenGillibrand That's a very dark LOL

@ravensspirit68 The tipping point is hard to see, until tipping is actually in progress. Recently WA & OR walked back some extremely restrictive proposals, & CDC is like "It's just guidelines" - and there's enough of us on twitter that we were accused of being bots/paid. Just think Valley Forge.

@Irishbrat1966 @sandosays @WriterMera One thing that really annoys me about AA goes back to its earliest days - AA takes credit for the individual's success, but blames the individual for failure.

[Blue Balloon Campaign @BalloonCampaign]

@Moonwake @ravensspirit68 @MSNBC @Walmart No I don't.

[Blue Balloon Campaign @BalloonCampaign]

@Molly40511321 @Sen_JoeManchin @washingtonpost I haven't - though I was pleased over the wknd to see that someone had counted responses to one of his tweets & the agree-w-Manchin total was 5, & disagree in high double digits.

[Blue Balloon Campaign @BalloonCampaign]

@sandosays @WriterMera Totally, the Geo. Valliant studies showed that people who attended 12 step meetings for a year had a quit rate identical to gen public quit rate - BUT had a 9x higher risk of dying in the yr after 1 yr of 12 step mtgs.

[Blue Balloon Campaign @BalloonCampaign]

@LamiereT @dis_roger @DanLairdMD Thanks. I'm glad I can put them to good use.

[Blue Balloon Campaign @BalloonCampaign]

@TerriMe3 @CDCgov Thanks.

@Scott00779301 @RyanForRecovery Right 4/5 of "opioid deaths" w 1-5 other drugs on death cert - the most freq is benzodiazepines which can cause raid, deadly closing of airways w no other drug in the body. But those deaths still counted as "opioid deaths" - it's a bureaucratic category, not scientific conclusion
