Dear Atty Gen Sessions: the main gateway drug to opioid use is NOT marijuana,but rather pharmaceuticals given to unsuspecting patients (& their parents) who were told by medical doctors that they should take them. Big Pharma is the biggest drug dealer in America and they know it

Please do some research! Your words & false narrative are hurting intractable pain pts. Legit pts, thru no fault of their own, live with severe pain 24/7, are now being denied pain meds bc of OPIOID HYSTERIA that you are promoting. Drs do not cause addiction. Educate yourself!

Hi Marianne. Did you know that only about 1% of chronic pain patients under the care of a Dr who take meds as prescribed end up w/OUD? Please stop spreading this falsehood. You are harming law abiding citizens. You have the power to stop.

I don't think it's really about drugs, except maybe in a Culture War sense. Sessions reversed the Obama DoJ decision to close private prisons. There's a lot of money to be made filling those beds. Mammon strikes again? I think so.

It's an excuse to keep the prison industrial complex going on the backs of poc. And if in Sessions' mind I'm bad because I smoke a little weed once in a while, I don't want to be good.
