RE: ORANGE MENACE: Trump Focus On Opioid Law Enforcement, Not Treatment [dTube]

in #news7 years ago

The opioid issue is multi-faceted and requires a multi-faceted solution. It's like termites attacking your house. You can't just cut off their water supply and hope they don't find or already have a back-up source. You can't just fix the damage and hope they won't attack it in the same place again. You can't just kill the bugs and assume the damage they created won't cause structural issues at some later date. You need to simultaneously kill the bugs, cut off the water supply, and fix the damage they produce. If you cherry-pick a portion of the opioid issue to save money or other resources it will just continue to be an issue in other areas and ways.
