Same Govt that Locks People in Jail for Cannabis, Just Approved OxyContin for Young Children

The harmful side effects of opioids are virtually limitless.

Washington, D.C. —
The evidence is undisputable. Cannabis is an incredibly beneficial plant with medical applications that humanity has only begun to explore. Its harmful side effects are nearly non-existent, and no evidence to date has shown that anyone has ever died from it.

The evidence is undisputable. OxyContin and other opioid-based prescription drugs have a small range of uses from pain management to cough relief. The harmful side effects of opioids are virtually limitless. They are highly addictive, sicken tens of thousands of people a year and kill thousands.

Of course, opioids have a place in medicine as they are used to treat severe pain. However, they are incredibly dangerous.

Crap journalism from the MSM, yet again.

Yes, we know people are locked up for harmless cannabis.

Yes, we know OxyContin has a real potential for abuse.

Giving a child a prescribed dose of OxyContin for severe plain should not be any kind of huge iissue.

Big Pharma needs to expand its customer base - long time users are either dead or switched to heroin :(

because the big pharma can't make money off of something that grows for free and does not need altering... To make into a pill or to make money off of it, the govt so they think, need to add stuff to it or what ever and why would you pay for something you can grow for free essentially???

Also, because there are to many benefits from cannabis they don't want you to know about or to use... again this is all for money as usual...

Did pain, all of a sudden, just become worse?
Bribery and, well, bribery have allowed the pharmaceutical lobbyists to start conditioning children at an early age to look for a pill and to only look for the best pills.
Keep cheering.
