Mass patient abandonment via Opioid Prohibition🤯
#chronicpain #opioidcrisis #Dopesick #DopesickHulu #crime #JordanPeterson #JoeRogan @jordanbpeterson

In this interview @MikhailaAleksis:
Why are patients being abandoned en mass?

How did the opioid crisis happen?
Why are all efforts by public health failing?
@joerogan @dr4liberty @GhanaboyPharmd @sullydish @bdomenech @wil_da_beast630 @brad_polumbo @LPNH

We had 100K overdose deaths in 2021,
despite opioid prescriptions being at historic lows

Millions suffering & dying needlessly
How F#$% did this happen?😠

in @slsatel & I interview:
US addiction rates are raging out of control,

black market is drowning in dangerous Fentanyl,
Cancer Patients denied pain meds,

Wreckage from the opioid crisis & prohibition are vast
So many deaths, so much addiction & suffering🔥

Access to pain meds for any condition is now just about impossible😢

In my work, I've talked to so many families w/ stories of addiction & forced tapering✍️

Spiraling drug problem & depleting reserves for the disabled♿️

The worst of both worlds💔
@isaac_schorr @redlianak @Zigmanfreud @jessesingal @jrubin @Stephen_Kent89

We learned that @MikhailaAleksis & her father @jordanbpeterson own medical stories are tied to what's been happening in doctor's offices, hospitals & surgeries across the western world

Effects from prohibition are far-ranging & make many conditions much more difficult to treat

My co-pilot @slsatel knows this very well,
she's written in some of the biggest newspapers in the country

She noticed some of the dangerous health trends a decade before anyone else

Been writing & reporting on these for years 📝

I am myself a disabled chronic pain patient,
so I know this both professionally & personally

I've met w/ veterans that cant get pain meds for disabilities they received while serving

Sometimes w/ their own loved ones dying of cancer & they couldn't get pain meds either

Neither elderly nor the young get a pass,
@purplemamabear whose children suffer from chronic pancreatitis,

are unable to receive access to these life-saving drugs

#chronicpain @MrAndyNgo @madelineorr @AviWoolf @ErinforCT110 @JoyPullmann @madeline

Reminded of patients that killed themselves cuz pain was so debilitating

Unable to get meds
thought it would be easier to hit GAME OVER😥

Millions of stats & stories speak to colossus of misery & suffering right beneath our nose

overdose victims & abandoned patients both drowning in misery
thehill.com/opinion/health… @juliairzyk @p_m_robinson @charliec @Lileks @charlescwcooke @HeatherMcDonald @HMDatMI @RyanForRecovery

But theres hope,
I see more & more waking up to the failed policies of prohibition, the ever-worsening overdose crisis

Our appearance on @MikhailaAleksis show is evidence that we are slowly changing minds & will one day get society to come to its senses

As the opioid lawsuits against big pharma & chain pharmacies fall apart, & as funds make little difference

more are going to ask questions about the prescription opioids narrative that dominates this discussion
reason.com/2021/09/21/mos…
@ChrisVanVliet @RyanSmithWriter @RonColeman

I highly encourage all those struggling w/ these issues to hold on & keep fighting

The more we can get people to talk & notice this,
the sooner we will get through it

Thanks to everyone I tagged,

If you are interested in health topics or disabilities I think there is a lot here to offer you,

Even if you aren't interested now, trust me, one day you will be, as @DouthatNYT said in his latest book,
Old age & painful maladies come for us all
