I find it amusing all the advertisement lately as if they have sealed the deal and all the opioid fuss is in the past. And of course omitting other substance and its current role and effect in society.
The lack of personal responsibility for folks' decisions and life choices has reached levels of negligence and depravity now dwarfing the Roman Empire. From frivolous litigation succeeding when folks spill hot coffee (which was indeed that wrong left turn at Albuquerque) on themselves and then complaining that they were burned, to a society that allows children to dictate to their parents, and when a company is held liable for misuse of a product that was manufactured to strict quality guidelines - SOMETHING IS WRONG... This is all the equivalent of cranking up the oven and placing your head inside and then blaming someone that no "head protection" was installed... Except TODAY, somehow it appears like so much fun that all your friends have to try it too. And after all, the first thing to fail on a product is the luxury safety features. So how long till we create a world of false comfort and faux security just waiting to break. And all at once. But in short we are creating a world of idiots to which pick up wild snakes and then wonder why they got bit. How does this apply to medical science and prescribing in the US today? Can anyone follow directions anymore? How is it that a person's poor moral code and simple inability to follow directions results in false culpability of drug manufacturers and prescribing physicians.?? And why are others made to pay for another man's sins?
Or are opioid pain medications just an opportune target due to the specific market, and larger more protected markets are causing improper attacks and martyrizations. Why not go after companies poisoning the environment? Or creating products with real hidden dangers? Or Criminals committing atrocious crimes? Why is "Civil Legality" so opportune for attack and duress.? Are physicians just fish swimming SHARKS.? Are they that weak. Yet ever so important? Its not adding up... And I have news for you opioids were dirt cheap there was no monsoon of profit making taking place.
The folks abusing Opioid pain medications KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. So to ponder where this all stops, we must also consider where and how it started. Civil litigation fueled by Government intervention is not helping matters either. What is the real purpose of regulation, or lack thereof. Is there some unseen agenda, aside from general insanity and social malfeasance? And if so what is it? Because the situation is turning on its side right now and once it flips like a ship its going straight to the bottom. THE SAME CONUNDRUM OF IDEALS, BEHAVIORS, AND VALUES is affecting other avenues of life equally now... The "Opioid Crises" was merely a symptom of a failing society as a whole. Translated - Opioids just may not be the PROBLEM...
The recent unprecedented Practicing of Medicine by the US DEA on this broad and arbitrary scale is improper and unsettling to the security of the democracy of the United States of America. Generalized threatening and terrorization of legitimate pharmaceutical retailers, as well as physicians is further diminishing the capacity of the US Health Care Market to operate objectively and effectively. Thus resulting in an overall diminishment of the practice of health care in the United States. Doctors should not live in fear of doing their jobs properly. The net psychological effect on practicing physicians is damaging on a fundamental level which spills over negatively into all forms of illness and treatments to which they address. Not to mention the financial and legal burdens passed down in cost to consumers and health insurance providers. The initiative was poorly constructed and implemented.
1. Yes certain areas of opioid use in medicine required more control.
2. Opioid users and abusers will get their drugs one way or the other.
3. The re-scheduling of Hydrocodone and essentially the removal of available opioids from the legitimate healthcare market is creating CRIME AVENUES - which due to their nature, most likely can not be undone.
4. New illegal opioid and illegal drug distribution chains and paths which will never be destroyed once started. Illegal Chinese market makers are dumping Fentanyl on the US market. Amongst every other illegal and improper vectors which are venturing to profit from this new opportunity. FENTANYL IS TOO SMALL IN PHYSCICAL SIZE TO CONTROL AND PREVENTS IT'S ILLEGAL DISTRIBUTION. PERIOD. (Poor Planning PERIOD)
5. New chemical analogs, similar drugs, and other illegal drug types are now also being designed, created, and distributed too quickly to regulate.
6. Creation of counterfeit pill markets using fentanyl and worse MANUFACTURED BY HACKS that improperly construct fake pills contain improperly high if not lethal doses of active ingredient - Fentanyl.
7. Re-birth of heroine markets. Heroin also now tainted with fentanyl which is even more deadly and all to increase profit.
8. Increased DEMAND for other illegal drugs in attempts by drug users and legitimate pain sufferers to compensate.
9. Legalization of MEdical Marijuana for PAIN Mitigation IS NOT a proper solution, as this market opening up is enabling youth to misuse and essentially retarding the upcoming generation irrevocably. It's a no-brainer that marijuana damages mental development in developmental adolescents. Let's not forget that marijuana is a SCHEDULE ONE SUBSTANCE (What is going on here!?!?!!!). DEA Drug scheduling is based PRIMARILY on POTENTIAL FOR ABUSE.
10. Creation of NEW ILLEGAL DRUG CONSUMERS AS FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN CONSUMER MARKET PSYCHOLOGY EMERGES.
11. Removal of legal prescription opioids HAS NOT lowered the death rate. (This means it has INCREASED IT - FYI....)
12. The demonization of hydrocodone , as a specific drug, was political at best. All told to date...
13. It would be a safe to speculate that all middle aged hydrocodone users that WERE/ and before 2014 and now EITHER (a) Dead, (b) Suffering and disabled due to discontinuation, (c) Using alcohol and other substance to compensate loss of access to hydrocodone.
14. Hydrocodone was a fairly safe and extremely effective pain medication which was demonized and banned in an arbitrary inclusion into the opioid control re-regulation efforts. Its not unfair to speculate that the re-scheduling of hydrocodone to a schedule II controlled substance was politically and unjustifiably motivated; and with poor pre-thought and planning. While hydrocodone is also abused by some users, the negative effects of said drug in terms of overdose deaths, perceived off-label market value, and most notably addictive properties - WAS IMPROPERLY REPRESENTED AND GROSSLY EXAGGERATED. It has been demonstrated in clinical studies that the addictive and other negative effects of hydrocodone are dwarfed by other lines or stronger opioids, including oxycodone.
15. The partial illegalization (State to state determinant) of the natural opioid substitute KRATOM, was pre-mature and most likely improper. The biological action of Kratom DOES APPEAR to be partially effective in terms of pain mitigation at the Opioid MU Receptor, and with minimal negative effects including market abuse. Kratom appears safely cost prohibitive and also appears to have limited lethality in use. Kratom sales and distribution control should be re-evaluated in all states at this time. In short, Kratom makes most users WANT TO BARF....
16. A complete re-evaluation of the war on opioids in terms of medical market use and distribution lines is strongly encourages AT THIS TIME.
17. BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE...
18. Lastly and certainly not least, it should be noted that converting pain patients to other analgesics such as NSAIDs is improper and poorly conjectured as the negative effects of NSAID pain medications from long term use will be catastrophic in terms of gastric and vascular damage -minimally... With consideration of the emerging positive data on the "Value of the gut" which is an ORGAN unto itself, AND which may even be the only ORGAN to elicit DIRECT CONTOL over the BRAIN, NSAIDs MAY BE CATASTROPHIC with long term chronic use. It is well documented that NSAID medications damage the gut resulting in anemia generating ulcerations, damage to mitochondria, and most likely a myriad of other biological intestinal disorders, permanent kidney damage and STROKE. NSAID USE ALONE may very well result in many illnesses with consideration of the emerging data on the broad and CRITICAL functional value of the gut. As a longer term more indirect and insidious negative consequence of long term NSAID use, these medications may ALSO very well cause vascular damage on a colossal scale which could possibly result in population-wide blood clotting disorders requiring anti-coagulant medication for MANY users ultimately. Are we looking at an NSAID APOCALYPSE of brain-warped, gut-failed, blood-clotted zombies?? Seriously..
And trust me - NO ONE cares about tomorrow. Else they would be working for today. You will be left to fend for yourselves. As you are now already.
SO what is the true cost? You say, "Oh, you are being irrational, eventually the demand will go away and this will be successful.." But at what cost...? And somehow the latter experience always seems to expedite the the eventual expedition of principle conditions.
- Rampant alcoholism and its sociological effects on physical health, psychological health, and resulting consequence in action of intoxicated behavior.
- Do you think these folks running around shooting up malls are on opioids? Don't think so. Drunk or stoned perhaps. Why don't we hear these STATS?!!!
- How much money in alcohol rehabilitation cost. After all the two PRIMARY TRIGGERS to enabling a trip to a REHAB are ALCOHOL AND BENZO's, as these have been deemed the two drugs which are considered "immediately life threatening upon direct cessation of use".
- How many people will go into the ER bleeding out internally from NSAID related ulcers?
- How many people will have heart attacks and strokes from NSAID USE?
- What is the COST of the long term effect of NSAID USE.
- How many children will die after being given a new drug analog which is now created due to the opioid crackdown? FYI - Kids were not really even into pain pills. Not before all the hype anyway...
- How many people will drink themselves to death and how far down with early alcoholism from onlookers and exposed children trickle?
- How many more kids will see their parents drinking more and be more likely to drink themselves and get into accidents harming both themselves and others?
- Was the internet and proliferation of "social media" even considered in this decision to upheaval the opioid market. And how that expedites the other evils?
- HOW LONG TILL SOME DRUG DEALER THAT WOULD NOT HAVE EXISTED OTHERWISE CAUSES HARM TO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY...!!!!
- the list goes on and on and one...
WHY IS IT THAT THEY JUST DID NOT ALLOW THE BEAST TO SLEEP AND START MORE SLOWLY WITH THE CONTROL MEASURES??? WHY...? Because I THINK they woke it's mother.. And she's pissed....

.. . Monthly users were dumped WHOLESALE.. Even today docs will start pissing down their legs at the mere mention of writing a hydro script. While perhaps the folks that got one script per year keep on, that is doubtful as well. BE ADVISED> Even if you just underwent surgery they are currently inclined to send you home when you leave the hospital recommending tylenol and nsalds. ITS INSANE... Cancer patients are suffering being offered a meager 5/500 hydro/apap for their troubles. Its ridiculous.. . Its also another negative result of Obama care in which docs now shop you out to specialist FOR EVERYTHING so everyone can get a taste of the lesser amount of money they can bill. The INTERNISTS DOCs OFFICE HAS CHANGED and is NO LONGER your one stop shop. And even with referral the pain docs will hesitate to write anything short of "twisting and tweakin ya with tricks and cortisone". And cortisone is a lot more metabolically damaging than you would think.... Pain Docs remain under great scrutiny today and actually have the highest suspect profiles even still...
