New Opioid Study

Oh, you're that one lying troll. Who is himself a prior ban. This exchange makes sense now.

I'm on my original account. You're on #4 or #5 (which you yourself have already admitted to).

Degenerate behaviour like drug use is generally the result of mental illness and/or the need to escape reality. Just a symptom of a dying society.

I asked to have that banned after getting my original account back, banned for racism bro. Nice smoking gun though.
Wonder why you never got your original account back...

1. We're not 2 years into Trump's term, he was inaugurated 17 months ago. Oh yeah, if only more people would have voted for Bernie or Hillary, there would be no drug addicts by now.

2. 60/40 is not that much of a split and suggests nothing about opioid abuse and voting. You think a lot of smack heads are running out to voting booths? Which of Trump's policies support drug abuse?

3. You've outdone yourself with this thread. People who voted for Trump live in the same county as drug addicts, so clearly that makes Trump a bad president.

4. According to the left, there is a rape epidemic in hollywood and on college campuses, both of which are comically left-wing. Where was your thread saying Obama country=rape country?

1.a Fair point on the 17 months. 1.b Hilary or Bernie aren’t president, so... hard to judge, right? Maybe Bernie would have started a massive, well funded opioid crisis program instead of cutting taxes on the rich and doing nothing about opioids.
2. 60/40 is an appreciable split. If we were doing the same job and I got paid 20% more, would you consider that “not much of a split”?
3. Trump’s own words make him a bad president in this area. He said that when elected, he would “SPEND THE MONEY” on opioid treatment (he hasn’t) and “THE NUMBER OF DRUG USERS AND THE ADDICTED WILL TUMBLE”
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/1/23/16909984/trump-opioid-epidemic-2017
4. If you find a credible statistic that rapes are 20% higher in counties that voted for Clinton, I’d be very interested in that. Otherwise, you are comparing apples to assholes.

Man, some people are really outing themselves as snowflakes who are incapable of coping with plain truth lately.

The analysis stopped being objective when it was associated with Trump.
There is nothing objective about linking an epidemic, which has roots going back 20+ years, with the guy who has been POTUS for less than 2.
And as a person who rather see this guy be POTUS for 4 rather than 8 years, it would be nice if sensational stories that could be chewed to pieces with a glance would stop making headlines. This doesn't help.

The analysis was never associated with Trump; it was associated with people and communities that eventually decided to vote for Trump. Most of these people were, presumably, extant for most of the past 20 years when the opioid crisis was developing.

We're talking about inner city people on drugs? This is more empathy than I ever see out of you.

Funny, he has a lot of empathy for people on drugs, but considerably less empathy for people fleeing from drug cartels.

If you can produce evidence of me being banned here for being racist, I'll quit Sherdog. If you can't, you make an apology thread and quit your account. Fair bet?

Sure, if you can produce evidence that I supposedly beat my wife (lol) like you once claimed. You first.

Looks like a no then.

I'd say you've wasted enough of my time with your lying, and now with your hypocrisy of being a ban who goes around trolling about bans. Not sure why you're in this forum, we have very low standards. Anyway,

OMG Trump didn't end the opioid crisis yet. Get to work you damn dirty Cheeto!

When did it start?
"It began in the late 1990s when pharmaceutical companies started increasing the supply of prescription painkillers, which they claimed would relieve pain without becoming addictive."

Oh, Clinton started the crisis. GWB continued it. And Obama perfected the crisis over his 8 year shit shift of doing nothing besides trying to aid Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Well, Trump is only one year in and at least he is looking to curb Iran's nuclear weapon program.

Bu bu but Clinton, Bush and Obama!

1. Dude, another massively taxpayer funded thing from Bernie? Not sure why you keep saying "cutting taxes on the rich". Seems redundant, but I'm not rich and my taxes were also cut. Taxes were cut, so if you were paying more before then naturally you're saving more now.

2. That's not how percentages work. 60/40 is only 10% off center.

3. He hasn't done as much as he could, that's for sure, but even according to your own Vox article, the administration has enacted policy to stop fentanyl from coming here, cutting barriers that kept medicaid from reimbursing addiction treatment, and cracking down on pill mills and overprescription. That article seems to suggest that anything short of just throwing money at a problem is insufficient. The aim should be preventing the addiction, not waiting until people are neck deep.

4. I don't believe in the college rape epidemic in the first place, but if it were true, I'd think that would be more reasonable than voters living in the same county as drug addicts.


Addiction often manifests itself when people have idle hands. Trump was the "jobs" candidate, so it's not unreasonable to think that people who are out of work would vote for the guy who wants to help employment rates. It also makes sense that neighbors of junkies would vote that way as well. Going by counties with slightly higher rates of opioid abuse doesn't really say much about people voting in which direction.

Two years into Trump’s term, the country is still in the grip of a terrible opioid crisis. It is a truism that this crisis cuts across demographic lines— sort of.

A new medical journal study shows that the counties that voted most heavily for Trump in 2016 have the highest rates of opioid abuse.

“In counties with higher than average rates of chronic opioid prescriptions, 60 percent of voters went for Trump. In counties with lower than average rates, only 39 percent voted for Trump.”

https://www.npr.org/sections/health...erlap-in-opioid-use-and-trump-support-in-2016

I, for one, am shocked. I thought it was plain ole' stupidity.

 

[luckyshot]

Here’s another juicy tidbit: States that have medical weed have 25% fewer opioid deaths.

Totally unrelated to Trump... except he named Jefferson Beauregard “Good People Don’t Smoke Marajuana” Sessions as AG.

Oh, yeah, and his first choice for drug Czar, Tom Marino, was instrumental in getting the opioid crisis rolling in the first place. Winning!

And for those of you who were all “Oh, MSM...” about the source in the OP, here’s Comedy Central

It’s hard to afford herion when you’re on welfare

Heroin is one of the cheapest drugs there is bruh. Black tar is supposedly hella cheap, it's why so many turn to it when their scripts run out.

 

[AgonyandIrony]

lol yeah


It's crazy how certain drugs can completely ruin people. Heroine seems to be the worst of the bunch when shooting it. Meth seems really fucked up too.

Heroin and meth are probably the worst, never done either but I snorted oxy once because a girl said if I did it she would snort it off my dick and I could do it off her ass.

So I was like... Lol yeah let's do that.

Xanax, Oxy, and Addie's are essentially the pharmaceutical equivelents.

They're more precise than most the drugs you buy. I've done three hits of LSD and had a pretty fun time helping a friend bounty hunt in a shitty casino. I've also taken one hit that had me talking to ghosts.

Cocaine and I'm sure the other drugs (cocaine has glamor to it that the other uppers don't) are the same. You never know the purity, or what it's cut with.

The scary thing now is that people are lacing shit with fentanyl, people like me who want drugs to be legalized aren't supporting it strictly to reduce prison time for mental issue, but government oversight would reduce addiction levels as well as ensure you're not snorting meth when you think you're doing coke.
