trump?
Hollywood and Wall St being the best case scenarios, as they have the money to support the addiction. Others will still turn to violent crime at some point, IMO
why would NY re-elect Deblasio?

Legal drugs would be like the costs we pay for today's prescription drugs.
High functional addicts do fine in society
until getting busted / the money / the stress /drug tests....something comes along.
The point is MEDICALLY given enough drugs to function if they are legalized; high functioning addicts remain just that.
I am quite sure many celebrities or professionals actually can do this for years until something comes along.
As always it's the illegality that causes the crimes to pay for the high priced high,
or derails a functional addict.

legality means the dosing is known. There aren't any really bad health effects from say snorting heroin.
( firing dope into veins is another mater).
narcotics do not even have detrimental cardiac side effects, unlike NSAIDs
Yes dump.
Not always violent crime, but crime none the less.
People turn to crime when they aren't drug addicts. Not sure if the guy who violently murdered 26 people a few days ago was drugged out, but he's a perfect example.
Drug addition needs treatment no doubt.
I have no idea what any of this means and I don't believe you do either.
Sounds to me like you want to get your illegal drugs at a lower cost.
NSAIDs are: Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs:
NSAIDs reduce inflammation and relieve fever and pain by blocking enzymes and proteins made by the body.

Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)
Naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox DS, Naprosyn)
Celecoxib (Celebrex)
they have cardiac side effects - some were pulled off the market because they killed people.
narcotics ( opioids and synthetic opioids) have no cardiac side effects
FUCK THE POLICE
911 EVERY DAY
Why would anyone ever vote for a Republican?
The same reason anyone would ever vote for a Democrat.
you're not exactly a biologist huh?
You are wrong that they have no cardiac side effects, they are just low risk.
Boris The Animal
It's Just Boris!
Because they aren't Communist Democrats.
Because they hate Blacks and other minorities.
no. not by themselves. only in combination do oipiates produce decreased cardiac function .
there are increased respiratory dangers with high doses of opioids, so they aren't completely safe .
They are much safer then NSAIDs (liver damage/cardiac events)
you're not exactly a biologist huh?
Nope!.... cough.......I'm more of a cannibas gal.......while I hit my cannibas vape.
CDC propaganda..and the comparison is to anti-convulsants
There has never been any known cardiac rhythm events, or suppressed cardiac activities due to narcotics.
There is decreased respiratory events ( dangerous when overdosing) -which could set off events due to lack of oxygen- but not at therapeutic doses,and not without combinations
Cardiac Effects of Opioid Therapy.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26461073
opioids have little direct negative effect on cardiac contractility. However, opioid administration can be associated with decreased cardiac function when administered in combination with other medications, including benzodiazepines. Opioids can lead to bradycardia and vasodilation, and as a result can rarely lead to edema, hypotension, orthostatic hypotension, and syncope when used at analgesic doses. While most opioids have no effect on cardiac conductivity, methadone, and buprenorphine can prolong QTc, especially when used in patients at increased risk for QTc prolongation. Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring of QTc at baseline and following dose increases is appropriate in patients receiving these medications.
CONCLUSIONS:
There are limited data to suggest that chronic opioid administration may be associated with an increased risk for cardiac-related adverse effects.
Science changes, there are new findings all the time.
You are super defensive about this because you have chronic pain, if I recall, correctly. They are just starting to really look at opioids now because of the tragedy of illegal use, addiction and overdose.
osteoarthritis of the knee joint - most days it's managable. the other day I was out and about and I could not lift my right knee into
the car..I mean I could not get into the drivers seat. I had to use my arm to lift my leg,and after a couple attempts I got in. ( my god that hurt)
the standard medication is steroid shots. but cortisone has a lot of really bad side effects.
I also have slightly high pressure in my eyes. I am also very nearsighted.
I went for my annual eye exam and my opthamologist noticed my pressure was alarmingly high.
He asked my if I was taking any steroids...bingo that was the connection.
The really bad part of this is the doc. who prescribed the shots completely downplayed the cortisone shot
as "not systemic -it goes to the knee" ( unlike oral tabs)
Stupid Me just went along with it! I should have protested that cortisone/steroid .

BECAUSE OF THE WAR ON PAIN MANAGEMENT -doctors will prescribe crap like that, instead of ultra safe narcotics.
The CDC started this when they moved hydrocodone from a Schedule 4 to a Schedule 2 ( same as oxycodone).
I am on codeine 3 instead which knocks me out ( sedation). I can't even use it most days for pain relief.
Buti'm luck to get even that, as now they want to stop opiate uses for chronic pain!
