Title: Why do the stinkiest turds always float to the top? Post by: PeterTheGrape on August 04, 2017, 07:20:54 PM Saw this article http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/dea-boss-aims-drastically-reduce-opioid-pill-production-article-1.3384571
Most people would read that and simply say "How did such a stupid fuck get to be the head of an agency?", but I am curious. Of course opium, where it is legal, leads to opium addicts and treatments. It does not lead to crimes and deaths. It is the restricting people to fake opiate derivatives that causes crime and death. So, why would the head of a government agency try to further restrict even opiate derivatives, thus making them more expensive, increasing opiate crime further and driving people to even more dangerous derivative opiates, perhaps from Chinese pill mills? Is his goal to cause more deaths and crime? Does he have some other goal? Who appoints morons like him? Title: Re: Why do the stinkiest turds always float to the top?

Because they are compliant and stupid enough to do the crimes allwoing them to become black mailed for life and certainly are happy to be slave.

Post by: GreenBits on August 05, 2017, 06:57:19 AM this is actually legit, Peter. this all sprang from doctors being incentivized by pharmaceutical reps to prescribe certain painkillers. this took place in the 90s.
as people rolled off of those prescriptions, they found they still liked opioids (even after the pill bottle was empty). those patients, in order to continue treating the pain, or to stem the pain of addiction, turn to black market sources. and we get here. but let me specifically explore why the pharm companies are very complicit in all this: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-prescription-painkiller-overuse-met-20160324-story.html Quote Ninety-nine percent of primary care doctors routinely prescribe potentially addictive opioid painkillers for longer than the three-day period recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to survey results released Thursday by the National Safety Council. The Itasca-based nonprofit also found that doctors routinely prescribe the drugs for unsuitable conditions, such as lower back and dental pain, and that they often overlook nonaddictive medications some research has shown to be more effective. "Studies have shown that once we get beyond seven days of these opiate prescriptions for acute pain, the outcomes become much worse," said Dr. Donald Teater, the group's medical adviser. " … They get on these for a long time and have a hard time getting off them." they are so overprescribed that they had to raise the production limits: Quote Starting in 2007, the DEA raised the limit on production of the drug from 70,000 kilograms until it reached a high of 153,750 kilograms in 2013. The limit was slowly reduced over the next three years and then slashed to the 108,510 figure for 2017. that we havent experienced a doubling of people with pain, i find it odd that it was necessary to raise the limit that many years to match supply. why did supply go up? also, the legal climate has less liability in prescribing something they dont need but ask for, rather than not giving it to them and getting sued. and doctors getting paid extra to suggest certain drugs, even if they arent the most efficient. but, this is so fucking unfair for those that actually have chronic pain and need these drugs. we can only hope that the removal of those using the drugs improperly, will return the demand down enough that the decreased supply should be enough for those with a true medical need :( Title: Re: Why do the stinkiest turds always float to the top?

Let the machine purge them from their lack of intelligence. Machine healing is the future. Title: Re: Why do the stinkiest turds always float to the top?

And even if it's not painkillers, doctors have been "lobbied" by the companies to prescribe their products, heck, even infant vitamins. It really is all about the money. |
