(10,387 posts)There is a whole new onslaught of pressure from the DEA
And Pharmacists and Doctors are running scared..................
It is sort of interesting, in my opinion. The DEA is still using the last opioid epidemic to fuel all of this!!!!!!
The feds own information they distribute is most interesting: Currently, the FEDS are reporting that 95% of all opioid OD's are from the STREET DRUGS BEING BROUGHT IN FROM MEXICAN CARTELS, AND SHIPPED IN FROM CHINA. (the one's being dispersed with fentanyl, not from prescription Rx's)
It seems the reason for this is that the DEA lost all it's "Low Hanging Fruit" (Marijuanna) when all the states legalized grass.
You can be sure that this is the reason they have kept grass illegal at a federal level.......So all the DEA agents looking for something to do have to invent something to do.
Messing with the REAL sources and REAL Criminals is much more difficult. It takes a great deal more time and effort to nail the REAL opioid problem coming in across the border, and that REAL work is far more dangerous.
It is certainly & incredibly easier to go after the legal and Legitimate Chronic Pain Patients that the doctors legitimately prescribe the drugs to.............than the Mexican Drug Lords and Chinese manufacturers........
You would think that with this upcoming "Government" that they would actually relax all laws and regulations on the use of drugs by the citizens.........We certainly are gonna need them, big time, to dull our senses for what is coming folks............
