punk rebel ecks posted:Why doesn't Europe have this opioid problem? Would it surprise you that we deregulated opiates? It wasn't a crazy idea, we tended to overlook pain as something that should be treated, when uh... it sucks and it's a good thing for people's well being to not be hurting all the time. But guess what, drug companies really wanted to sell those pain meds and they pushed and lobbied and put in paid articles in doctor's journals to make the stuff that was supposed to be for short term use also for long term use. And it worked, and so what if they got sued for misleading the FDA they still got their pills through and insurance companies are buying them and people are buying them and people are killing themselves for the chemical bliss that they can use to supplant a life drained of all meaning and hope.

Speaking of drugs, remember when Barry Obama cracked down on legal marijuana dispensaries and growers?

Canada also has the same opioid epidemic so I'd say it's more likely to be something to do with medical treatment, prescriptions, or better doctor coverage of the population.

punk rebel ecks posted:Why would OD deaths go up after a crackdown? all the addicts who'd been on prescriptions of carefully labeled and regulated pharmecutical opiods for years suddenly got cut off by the crackdown, and with no accompanying push to treat their addictions, they stayed addicted and turned to the streets to get their fix instead

Head of the Iowa Democratic Party resigned today due to health issues. His brief tenure as head of the party saw the state delegation voting for Perez as a bloc and their candidate for a special election in a state house congressional district failing to file paperwork in time to get on the ballot.

I grew up around the corner from a Nabisco factory. On a down wind day the entire neighborhood smelled like fresh baked Cookies, then they recently shut down to probably move production to Mexico. NO MORE OREOS really hit home for me
