Did you know that pharmaceutical companies paid doctors to prescribe opioids, creating a heroin epidemic, and made billions of dollars doing it?

Oh yeah i understand. There are tons of people who need them who now can’t get them, because the government allowed pay for play prescribing by scumbag doctors to anyone and everyone. In Europe that never would have been allowed, meaning no backlash would’ve been triggered.
Welcome to Puritan ass America.
I suggest drinking yourself to death or getting a gun and leveling the playing field. Obviously the latter only in minecraft.
I not American so no gun lol. I was just commenting on the general situation there, the new CDC guidelines for prescribing medicine look disastrous to me.
Which ones?
Piss test before starting opioid therapy, searching up people on the state portal for previous drug use, prescription or criminal offences, Nonpharmacologic therapy being forced onto everyone even in cases where it provides no benefit. Yeah physiotherapy is great for a ton of conditions, it helps me a lot, but a cancer patient is not going to benefit much from that when their pain is coming from chemo and their tumours.
Stuff like this is just going to fuel the drug crisis because people will turn to illegal hard drugs. Despite doctors in the US prescribing around 50% less opioids now than they did 8 years ago, opioid related deaths and overdoses are still rising, because people now are just take street opioids
