Discussion: Report: Sessions Says Instead Of Opioids, 'Take Some Aspirin'

“I am operating on the assumption that this country prescribes too many
opioids,” Sessions said during a speech at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in
Tampa, according to a report by the Tampa Bay Times. “People need to take some aspirin sometimes.”

OK treat osteoarthritis from a broken vertebra, scoliosis caused by polio I had as a young child with aspirin and all my problerms are solved…got it

I see a pain specialist once a month. I follow his rules exactly…I do exactly what that law says, what the DEA says… and for this I feel like I am labeled a cry baby criminal because of chronic pain that is sometime debilitating. Apparently it is my fault I contracted polio in 1954 at the age of 5 before I had access to vaccination. It’s apparently my fault that scoliosis (a curved spine) happened due to the polio. And in my 20’s feeling fit I had a job with the San Carlos Apache tribe working a cattle ranch. I crashed on a horse and broke a vertebra in my lower back. For this I’m thought of as some sort of cry baby criminal who should be satisfied with a politician practicing medicine. NO, truth be known I am deeply insulted, Jeff. Hey Jeff, if I were you I’d think about a job away from trump where I could rebuild some personal honor. Fact is, however, you, Mr Sessions…you have no personal honor, bless yer heart.

“Sometimes you just need to take two Bufferin or something and go to bed.”

Yah, that’ll solve the Opioid crisis right ricky tic, it’s brilliant! :expressionless:

Jeff also thinks that holding a “Bufferin” or something between ones knees will prevent pregnancy.

I’ve heard burying a dead sparrow in the back yard and then placing a boiled egg under your pillow cures most ills.

Fuck you, white house elf. You’d crumble under the pain the people I know with chronic illness go through every waking moment because opioids and other pain meds are stigmatized.

Soon Donald Trump’s evangelical whatever committee lady will come by and helpfully explain that you can just pray away your crippling opioid addiction. Jesus, take the needle.

We can probably save a lot of money on defense spending if we remove all the opiods from medical kits and field hospitals.

Too funny!

Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday floated a simple solution to the opioid epidemic that currently affects millions of Americans: “Take some aspirin.”

“You know, medicine is not an exact science, but we’re learning all the time. Why, just fifty years ago, they thought a disease like your daughter’s was caused by demonic possession or witchcraft. But nowadays, we know that Isabelle is suffering from an imbalance of bodily humors, perhaps caused by a toad or a small dwarf living in her stomach.”

He also questioned the Drug Enforcement Administration assertion that nearly 80 percent of heroin users in the United States reported that they first misused prescription opioids.

“That may be an exaggerated number. They had it as high as 80 percent. We think a lot of this is starting with marijuana and other drugs,” Sessions said, “but we’ll see what the facts show.”

Sessions (should have continued on) ‘But we will only show you the facts that can be made to fit our policy. The rest stay buried.’

The level of absurdity of this comment is incalculable. It redefines tone deafness.

To say I’m enraged by this is an understatement. I can’t stand these fucking people, and the world would be an enlightened and beautiful place without this motherfucker, and that other orange motherfucker, out of it.
