Holly wrote about how Johnson and Johnson have been in a court battle against Oklahoma for two years her opinion is semi like mine, but my opinion is that an addict is an addict yes we have an opiate epidemic. Now is it really the companies fault? If so, McDonalds and any fast food restaurant should be penalized for the obesity epidemic in America. She did state that it is an issue of poor health and mental care. Mental care is the biggest issue in America. Addiction can be anything. I have seen people build up tolerance, and I have seen addiction. Don’t be confused by these terms. For example, if someone had back surgery, and they are using pain pills at times, the body will adapt to that dosage, so they require a stronger long-acting medication. In pain management, long-acting medications should be titrated as needed patients should not be using short-acting or instant release acting pain medications routinely. If they are their, long-acting medication should be increased. The most common addiction I have seen is soccer moms abusing pain medication drinking wine on top of prescription pills. She did state that this ruling does make it hard on the people who have chronic conditions by making it more difficult for them to receive their pain medications. Also, we can avoid this with legalizing THC federally if they want to make big pharma pay; that is the way to kill their business.
