The “opioid epidemic” is nothing more than a buzz word that can be brought out at rallies for this administration. They are trying to twist this into something that would support their dumb ass wall. In no way are they attempting to meaningfully address the root of the issue which is: overprescribing by providers and an industry far too willing to provide easy access to their products, all the while ignoring the fact that an alternative is available for chronic pain in the medical marijuana industry. In fact, they are attempting to return to the days of a “Reefer Madness” mindset. If we have learned anything in the last year of this administration it is this, they will support big business to the extreme without any concern for the harm that those businesses cause to the average citizen.
