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

The fact that addiction is a disease does not excuse the irresponsible marketing of addictive substances.

I’m Chronic Pain patient, my doctor after trying all other avenues put me on opioids. I was warned of all of the dangers in writing. I have never had a problem. Opioid crisis is black market fentanyl.

So people should be tortured b/c a tiny % of those prescribed pain medication end up abusing? If meds were the problem deaths would be in the millions and not in the thousands. Rx deaths have gone down steadily since 2010. These laws send ppl who r sick 2 heroin and suicide.
Also, isn’t it better to let addicts go to hospitals, get their hit under the observation of a dr, using clean needles, & having the option for rehab made available to them each time they get their hit? Or let’s just cont. to let them die in the streets?
