Opioid manufacturing quotas are being slashed by the trump (un)organization. Incredibly legitimate pain specialists that are professors of medicine are being prosecuted by the DEA, while there are still pill mill docs not even board certified doing their thing albeit on a much smaller scale.
However, the chronic pain community has been mobilizing quite a bit as of late. There has even been the formation of chronic pain task force within the government that recently submitted a report to congress that was very pro opiate.
There was some recent hearing between congress and some pain advocates.
Lastly, FOX news aired z 3 part piece on how this crackdown is ruining patients lives I would highly recommend you watch it.
Cnn fake news still pushing false epidemic narrative.
I think the US is just going to become desensitized to the fent overdoses just like we become to everything. Soon it will be normal and this opioid epidemic agenda will hopefully die down and we will be back on roxys
