Why do you believe that the "opioid epidemic" be a HOAX Steven?
Because there's no profit in opioids for the drug companies. Have you noticed all the new pain relief gadgets they advertise in between those brilliant MSNBC panel discussions?

If they are talking about Cuyahoga County ... been full of drugs for 100+ years....
----- If they are moonshine counties
I'm with the guy that writes...."brilliant MSNBC panel discussions".....Hoax
Got any prove of a HOAX? Have you seen this video presentation?
No Ron, I haven't watched it. In fact whenever any of the networks, including Fox, start talking about this BS I immediately switch the channel. As far as proof, my proof is my own observation on the street. Vicodin is not a gateway drug to heroin. Heroin is far more expensive than Vicodin. A person like myself who is now denied Vicodin because of this false narrative would never turn to heroin, even though I could easily get it if I wanted.
If you have not watched this video, then you have no idea what you are talking about. Open you eye's Steven and view this report. Maybe you will see who's dying.
These reports are all the same Ron. The whole thing is a hoax, starting with Chris Christie.
It pisses me off to watch this BS. I'm one of the 1/3 of those patients doctors have said are negatively impacted by this goverment control of doctors. Is that what you're advocating Ron, that government can put itself above my doctor?
To combat the country’s harrowing opioid addiction epidemic, many doctors are moving away from prescribing powerful painkillers to patients, but a nationwide survey finds that 34 percent of physicians believe this tactic may actually be hurting people with chronic pain issues.
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2017/01/06/h...
This "panel" on this video is why I quit watching these reports. This panel had NOTHING to say about the doctor survey where 34% of doctors said these restrictions were harming their patients. That was just a tease and the "substance" turned out to be the same old bi-partisan BS. I've yet to hear ANYONE take the patient's side.
You Sir are a homophobic habitual liar, you can't show me anywhere in this report, you see a panel? If you can't show me a panel in this report means that you are a liar and you and your kind don't want the truth to be known. That is and the people like your mission and you are really doing a poor job at lying.
What report did you think I was referring to Ron? The Fox news segment from January is the one when I quit watching any more reports on this BS. You are the one who's dishonest, when you insist a subject like this that's been covered incessantly since Christie ran in the primary, needs to be restricted to your one current video. How cowardly.
Hey Steven, that is BULL💩 about some Fox news segment from January that you quit watching. This blog s about MSNBC Profiles Ohio County Hit Hard By Opioid Epidemic and always been the subject of this blog. See this is what homophobic habitual liar do, they will LIE and try their best to change the subject, just like you tried to do but it did not work.
Now, since you had time, did you view this video presentation at the top of this blog which is the subject of this blog?
Oh! By the way, don't you ever bring any links to my blogs trying to change my subjects ever again, do you hear ME STEVEN? That BULL💩 trick will never work with me.
That's right Ron, you don't want to talk about the "opioid epidemic". It's always about watching some damn video.
In this case, this is what this topic is about. Did you view this video presentation at the top of this blog which is the subject of this blog?
I did and it's every bit the BS I expected. People commit suicide that's their business.
Well I'll be, after all this time, you finely seen this video presentation so you can be on topic with this blog, it is about time. WOW!!! No Steven, this is not BS, this is for real.
Quick two Question Steven, "What did the corner say about the percentage of bodies was in the cooler that die from this one drug?
What was the name of that drug?
The drug they were talking about is fentanyl combined with heroin. It comes from Mexico across a porous border that President Trump promised to secure, but that you and the Democrats are working tirelessly to keep open.
"opioid epidemic". It's always about watching some damn video.

You must have over looked the very first question Steven Williams and that was "What did the corner say about the percentage of bodies was in the cooler that die from this one drug?
I don't remember what the corner said. 60% maybe. Secure the southern border.
Sounds like you guessing are you for sure or what?
No I'm not not sure Ron. Which is easier, for you to tell me the number or for me to watch this BS video again? I'm waiting to hear the significance of whatever the number is.
Secure the southern border.

This Story is FAKE NEWS
....Cause jobs and $$$$ are made from 98.9% of HEROIN from Afghanistan..USA Protectorate since 2002
I was wondering why they quit talking about Afghanistan.
We’ve all heard of poppy fields blooming in Afghanistan, but is Trump right that heroin is entering the United States largely through the southern border?
Yes. Even though Southwest Asia supplies heroin to most of the rest of the world, nearly all of the heroin available in the United States comes from Mexico and South America.
"Mexico, and to a lesser extent, Colombia, dominate the U.S. heroin market, because of their proximity, established transportation and distribution infrastructure, and ability to satisfy US heroin demand," the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration wrote in its National Drug Threat Assessment of 2015.
"Mexico continues as the primary supplier of heroin to the United States," the White House’s page on the international heroin market reads. "Estimated cultivation of opium poppy reached 10,500 hectares in 2012, with an estimated pure potential production of 26 metric tons."
Here’s a chart from the DEA report demonstrating the prevalence of heroin from the southern border:
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/st...
No I'm not not sure STEVEN WILLIAMS then why are you taking my blog off topic? Fentanyl is the main point of this report not the poppy fields blooming in Afghanistan or the Southwest Asia supplies heroin.
It is the FENTANYL is the new Epidemic and you know for a FACT that the WAR ON DRUGS did not work. Overdoses would not happen "If You Just Say NO!"
Robert commented too Ron, I was responding to him. Fentanyl and heroin are the drugs, now what can you tell me about fentanyl or should I tell you?
Tell me about FENTANYL as pertaining to this blog, if you care to elaborate. In this report it talk about a powerful new drug so powerful you can die just by touching it. This story begins in Dayton Ohio where today this city is at the center of an of a deadly sweeping drug Epidemic and the name of this drug is called FENTANYL.
This is no HOAX.
My second wife was on fentanyl for two months in the hospital after she was shot. In the hospital it was by IV. Not prescribed after she got out. I know well it's dangers because of a side effect she had while at the hospital under doctor's care.
Sorry that your wife wanted to go through that. I sure that it took a toll on the family. Steven you know for a fact that FENTANYL is no HOAX.

******************************************************
Doctors raked in cash to push fentanyl as N.J. death rate exploded
from patches to lollipops.
But a dose the size of a grain of sand can kill you.
Meet fentanyl. It's heroin on steroids. It's killing people in droves. And, in New Jersey, you can get it after having your tonsils removed.
The surge is stoked by companies that shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to doctors, wining and dining them in hopes of convincing them that their particular brand of fentanyl is the solution to all their patients' pain problems.
The HOAX is what they don't tell you. Their story is that the "opioid epidemic" is the result of over-prescribing pain killers.
Fentanyl is available by prescription to treat severe pain. But the fentanyl that's currently on the streets — usually mixed into heroin and often without the user's knowledge — isn't from diverted pharmaceutical products. Instead it's being illicitly manufactured, according to the government.
"Starting in 2013, the production of illegally manufactured fentanyl increased to unprecedented levels, fueled by increases in the global supply, processing and distribution of fentanyl and fentanyl-precursor chemicals by criminal organizations," the report says. Between 2014 and 2015 alone, the number of seized fentanyl products rose from 5,343 to 13,882.
http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2...
Drug traffickers are making their own Fentanyl, a powerful opioid pain medication used for extreme medical conditions, and selling it mixed with or instead of heroin. Much cheaper to make than heroin, and exponentially more potent, it's easier for users to overdose on Fentanyl. In New Orleans, Fentanyl deaths now outpace the murder rate.
Just like in other industries, producers in the illegal drug business look for ways to cut costs. A major cost cutter for opioids is now flooding the market. It's called Fentanyl. It began as medication for chronic pain and it's cheaper to make than heroin and more deadly.
http://www.npr.org/2016/04/21/475161582/dr...
When it comes to the illegal sale of fentanyl, most of the attention has focused on Mexican cartels that are adding the drug to heroin smuggled into the United States. But Chinese suppliers are providing both raw fentanyl and the machinery necessary for the assembly-line production of the drug powering a terrifying and rapid rise of fatal overdoses across the United States and Canada, according to drug investigators and court documents.
“We have seen an influx of fentanyl directly from China,” said Carole Rendon, the acting US attorney for the northern district of Ohio in Cleveland. “It’s being shipped by carrier. It’s hugely concerning because fentanyl is so incredibly deadly.”
The China connection is allowing local drug dealers in North America to mass produce fentanyl in pill form, in some cases producing tablets that look identical to an oft-abused version of the prescription painkiller OxyContin. It also has been added to Xanax pills. And last week, fentanyl pills made to resemble the painkiller hydrocodone were blamed for a wave of overdoses in the Sacramento area, including nine deaths.
The fentanyl pills are often disguised as other painkillers because those drugs fetch a higher price on the street, even though they are less potent, according to police.

Wait a minute Steven are you listening to what you just said? The HOAX is what they don't tell you. Then you go on to report, Fentanyl is available by prescription to treat severe pain. But the fentanyl that's currently on the streets — usually mixed into heroin and often without the user's knowledge — isn't from diverted pharmaceutical products. Instead it's being illicitly manufactured, according to the government.
Steven, that is no HOAX, that is a FACT. There is a war going on, that is happening right in front of you and people like your wife is dying by the thousands nation wide and hundreds in this small city in Ohio County and China is firing that long range missile at The America people.
Tell me Steven, in this report, can you tell me, who are the people most effected by these sad overdoses and death's from are FENTANYL?
The person I care about is myself Ron. The hoax about the "opioid epidemic" is that it's blamed on over-prescription of prescription pain killers. That means that legitimate users like myself can't get a prescription any longer. I don't care about the illegal users that overdose. I care about myself who can't get hydrocodone anymore.
So, you will not answer this question: "In this report, can you tell me, who are the people most effected by these sad overdoses and death's from are FENTANYL?"
The people who are dead are the ones most affected.
If you want to do something about these "sad overdoses" support President Trump's border wall.
I asked you a question and you side step it again. I asked you, who are the people most effected by these sad overdoses and death's from are FENTANYL?"
and you said this: The people who are dead are the ones most affected. STEVEN WILLIAMS, who are the dead in this report overdoses and death's from are FENTANYL?"
What is the matter, you can't speak the truth now?
The matter is I'm not going to watch this video AGAIN just to answer your question Ron. This is just your usual game. If you have something to say just go ahead and say it. Or go watch some more videos.
Wait a minute STEVEN WILLIAMS, are you saying that your memory is not long enough to remember the people depicted in this video report that we have ben talking about for about four days now, UNBELIEVABLIE!!!
Like you Ron I remember certain things that are important to me and ignore those that aren't. Sorry but I don't know the answer to your particular question. I can always though discuss the "opioid epidemic" if you were ever to acknowledge that is the important subject.
I see those words three times in you blog post but you only want to run from them.
Excuse me, four times.
No STEVEN WILLIAMS, the Identification of those people in this report is very vital to your understanding of who is being the victim of this WAR that is happening before your eyes, right now.
Take another look at this report STEVEN WILLIAMS I am sure you can you tell me, who are the people most effected by these sad overdoses and death's from are FENTANYL?"
I'm not sure what you mean Ron. The only thing I heard that might be what you are fishing for, is under 50.
That is just one part of it, keep going! theirs more.
Damn Ron, I watched twice more to get that much. What is this vital information? If it's really so vital stop your games and say what it is.
No, I don't want to just throw you away and call you names like HARRY would because I think you have more on the ball then that. The report tells you who the people are, if you was paying any attention to this report like you should have. The answer is right in front of you and it has been all of the time.
Try again Steven Williams.
The coroner did say he served 1/5 of the state. Is the answer the people living in that area?
Or is it the people living in the epicenter?
Now it is definitely the people that is living in that area, there is no doubt about that.
Who are you trying to fool now Steven, The epicenter and the area is the same thing.
Let's see if you're right Ron.
Ohio county becomes epicenter of opioid epidemic.
Then the guy says Ohio is the epicenter.
Which is it Ron, Montgomery county Ohio or the state of Ohio?
I see why you are blind, proud and stubborn. If you reviewed this material in this 5 minute video you would have reserve that the people that of been targeted are blue-collar workers and the poor according to the sheriff.
It is people like you and I that the oligarchs of this Country wants to illuminate. If you get sick, they want you to hurry up and die and with you vote, they can achieve their goals.
This is just a testing ground For what will happen all over this Country and the rich Will profit from it.
Let me look again. I will admit I couldn't understand much of what that woman said other than it was morgue rd not morgan rd.
So people turned to fentanyl because their economy crashed and they don't have jobs. Trump won Ohio by the people who weren't ready to roll over and die.
You can put another one in the LIE column for Trump. Those people also believed in him and they became victims.
President Trump has been in office for 9.6% of his first term.
Those people are not victims.
What do you call the dead, Night after night from overdoses of FENTANYL?" What do you call those people Steven Williams?
I call them responsible for exercising their own free will. Not victims.
Just like you, they wanted to just get high not to die from it. Next time you buy a dime bag, I hope that it is clean, good luck!!!
I don't buy street drugs Ron, dime bags or otherwise. It is my free will not to do so and whatever I die from it won't be from an overdose. Opium should never have been made illegal. It's only because it was that people are suffering the consequence of buying from an untrustworthy source.
Opium, Coca, and Cannabis are all part of nature's bounty.
FENTANYL is the killer in this blog and not a part of nature's bounty. Don't you get it, people in OHIO was self-medicating, needed help from this sickness, knew people who died from this evil, tried this evil once or twice before and it killed them dead, that last and people made money from targeting the middle class and the poor.
Not my problem. Their choice their problem.
If that is your concern, then why build a wall. That sounds like foolish thinking to me, how about you?
I didn't say I want these people to die, I said they aren't victims. There's lots of other reasons to build a wall, stopping street drugs is just one.
Can't you see that a wall is not the answer to the fentanyl crisis? You can't stop greed with a wall, death is the cost of doing business.
Now walls are built I keep people out at one point in history pass. Drugs are brought in by air and by sea, those shipments are not stoped at all.
Who is going to pay for the wall... Mexico!!! Do you really still think that?
A wall will have much more effect than these constant stupid media reports and political statements.
Get help for a drug disability is much more affective been a damn wall. Stephen people need help and all you want to do is turn your back.
So leave the drugs in place and give everyone free rehab. What a plan.
That just may save someone you love, LIFE.
That is how that is done.
Rehab doesn't work and the drugs are still right there when they get out.
There are people alive today from rehab from drugs that are now leading a productive life and trumps wall is nowhere in their lives.
Why can't you see that there is a war going on with the rich V.S. The middle class and the poor? Now Trump wants to just repeal the health care plan which includes drug rehabilitation and replace some time later down the line. Don't that sound foolish to you?
The ACA needs to be repealed.
I asked you two question Steven Williams
1. Why can't you see that there is a war going on with the rich V.S. The middle class and the poor?
2. Now Trump wants to just repeal the health care plan which includes drug rehabilitation and replace some time later down the line. Don't that sound foolish to you?
This is my second time asking you this same question, what is the matter?
1. I can see Ron but I don't see what you see.
2. The replace part I don't care about. The repeal part is the furthest thing from foolish.
You can see what Steven? I know that it is a war by Rich Republicans on the Middle Class and the Poor, are we talking on the same issue?
Your words: The replace part I don't care about. what do you mean, The replace part I don't care about?
The repeal part is the furthest thing from foolish. What do you mean Steven Williams? The Republicans had Eight years to come up with a Health Care Bill and this is all they came up with?
I answered your questions Ron, question 1 and question 2. No, I don't see a war on the poor by the rich. Repeal as in repeal and replace. Replace as in repeal and replace
Trump want to repeal and replace sometime later. Keep I'm mind that the Republicans had 8 years to work on repeal and replace Health Care, with there own bill.
Steven, I have said that is a war by Rich Republicans on the Middle Class and the Poor, not just the poor, do you see that? Are we talking on the same issue?
Of course we're talking about the same issue Ron. There was zero chance of repealing the ACA while Obama was in office. Now at long last it will happen.
The heart of the ACA, the unconstitutional mandates, will be gone one way or another.
What happens when 23 million American lose there Health Care Steven?
What happens when your issuance premiums get to a point where you can't afford Health Care?
Then pass single payer. It's constitutional.
Stop blaming Trump and the majority that voted for him. Blame your own Party, the DNC, the Super delegates that blocked Bernie Sanders. Do YOUR damn job.
Trump is the one who wants build a wall. First he his claim to fame when he said that Mexico was going to pay for the wall, which turned out to be a LIE. Trump was not voted into office by the majority of the country but he did win in those states that practice Voter suppression, which is a strategy to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing people from exercising the right to vote.
I see that you want to talk about anything other that "Profiles Ohio County Hit Hard By Opioid Epidemic."
THE War on the Poor and The Middle Classes is real.
Trump WAS voted into office by the majority of the country. The vote was 304 to 227.

This blog was not about any of those subject FUFU, this is the LIE you brought to this blog.
You don't even know what your own blog is about Ron.
This is why you are so feckless.
Steven this blog is about Profiles Ohio County Hit Hard By Opioid Epidemic and this is a war on the Middle Class and the poor n Montgomery county OHIO.
You don't know what your own blog says Ron. This video says NOWHERE ANYTHING about a war on the poor and middle class. It DOES end with the words, unless these drugs are taken off the street... I am on topic and you are off topic.
Steven, stop it! You are looking real foolish now, when it was you who couldn't tell me in your own words, what group of people that was effected by the drug epidemic in Montgomery Ohio. Stop it, you're looking real foolish.
Get the drugs off the street Ron. Build the wall.
Most illegal Drugs are brought to The United States is by Sea, by Air and over the road, all of which is meant to by-pass a wall. Who's going to pay from the wall...MEXICO!!! That is turning out to be a another LIE he told you, Steven Williams.
Your argument has been lost, so long ago, that this is not funny any more.
Those poor people will still be poor but they won't be dead.
Being poor is The reason why they are self medicating in the first place Steven. Bringing back jobs to this country at a livable wage Will better there living condition then a damn wall will.
That's another reason we voted for Trump, jobs and the economy. But you and your Democrats will do everything possible to block the country from moving forward. Shame on you Ron.
At this point it really looks like your Republican Party have not made a positive move on jobs or Health Care but that wall BULL💩 Will not STOP DRUGS from coming into this county. The Ruling Family's, in this country won't stand for that money to be cut off.
You are the one obsessed with Republicans Ron, not I. I did not vote for Bush 2000, 2004, nor McCain 2008, nor Romney 2012. I'm a Trump man.
I see that you want to talk about think else just to get off the subject of Profiles Ohio County Hit Hard By Opioid Epidemic.
Now you want to change the subject and talk about, You are Trump man, OK! Steven Williams, you said that you are a Trump man even after he continuously tells the American people all those LIE'S, sometime two and three in one day, WHY?

The "opioid epidemic" is a hoax. Interestingly it is a hoax propagated by both Partys.
