Trump to declare fentanyl "Weapon of Mass Destruction," per draft EO

[slightlv]

3. I notice whoever wrote this was writing about "illicit fentanyl"...

I worry for those critical pain patients who use the drug, as per prescription. I don't; but I remember when my Mom had to take it. It was the only thing that gave her any relief at all. I fear this is a slippery slope where we chronic pain patients are not only forgotten, but actively thrown to the wolves to try to get our relief. Especially in states that haven't passed legal pot laws yet. This is one source of cruelty that would be extreme for the patients impacted. I'm lucky I didn't have to go this high for pain relief, but I do want that available to me should my chronic conditions worsen.

Like I said, here it's written as "illicit fentanyl"... but it wouldn't take much to lose the word "illicit", especially since he's already threatened SSRI's and other anti-depression drugs, at least for kids last I heard.

Taking away peoples meds upon which they rely in order to function in any kind of way is a special kind of cruelty. These people I hope find the deepest circles of Dante's hell.
