1-I now have ppl searching for me on FB after reading my article.
One person put a link on one of my posts about how to 'get hooked up with doctors who will give people the pills they want'.
I'm tired.
No, I'm beyond exhausted and I'm really over all of this.

2-I deleted his 'pill hook up' link, he also posted a link to his own article in which he regurgitated the tired THEORY of how- 'over prescribing started the opioid crisis' and how 'prescription pills are now being laced with Fentanyl'.

3-Probably 25 more articles I need to write now expanding on things I could only touch on in my recent article. The first being. dispelling #TheGreatOpioidLie that uses the 'over prescribing' theory to justify the DEADLY, draconian restrictions they've implemented on RX meds.

4-The 'over prescribing' theory is just that, A THEORY, based loosely on correlating a period of time when MDs were being mandated to TREAT PAIN; pain was being UNDERTREAED across the board due to OPIOPHOBIA in America-bias & stigma rooted in racism and the OPIOID WARS.

5-We see that restricting production of SAFE AND EFFECTIVE MEDICINES, targeting people in pain, while jailing prescribers who DARE practice patient centered care, has done NOTHING to stem the tide of drug deaths. In fact, it's done the opposite, as prohibition always will.

6-Anyway, like I said, I'm beyond exhausted.
I'm battling serious health issues, advocating for both CPPs and those with SUD, putting myself out there which makes me a target, being hit by natural disaster after natural disaster, all while grieving the loss of my daughter.

7-All of this is because of corrupt individuals and entities want to continue profiting by perpetuating lies-
Getting rich, while those they are professing 'save' continue to be sacrificed on the altar of #TheGreatOpioidLie.
