Anyone else feel that OUR state legislators and their office personnel should have mandatory drug and alcohol and tobacco testing that would become immediately Publicly Noticed Information?

Restricting alcohol worked really well. Let’s see how tighter controls helps illegal drugs flourish. The sad part is there are people in chronic pain. The people who are struggling always have to suffer even more for the stupid who commit suicide by overdose. Any time someone tells me the government cares about me I laugh and think what’s the real motive (votes, money etc).

yeah pretty stupid, they will just take heroin but as we approach our later years will probably have to jump through endless hoops to get help as our old bodies fall apart.

Yes lets make the working nondoper pay for the dopers. Why is it always the good innocent people that must pay for the bad. I agree with what president Trump is thinking about with the drug pushers. Maybe it will help cure this horrible disease.
That is what we want, a cure

I have no sympathy for drug addicts anymore. All the money and time spent is a waste they will only stop when ready. Maybe they want everyone to go get their government medical cannabis. Think about that who do you trust more to get that from your local weed man or your government weed man. Ever wonder why Florida doesn’t allow the patient to grow a few plants on their own instead of going to their stores. I can’t wait to see the mess this makes. Now heroin is on the way.

Trying to legislate addiction: Genius. What about the 88K alcohol related deaths each year?

“Is that an inconvenience? Yes. Is an inconvenience worth saving 50,000 lives nationwide? Absolutely.”

I love the naive world of politicians. My terminal cancer is exempted, but when I had kidney stones would not be exempted. Just to help some folks who like being in front of the cameras……Heroin is an opium based street drug which is killing people and exactly how is this bill creating an inconvenience for dope dealers and mopes who are hooked on opiates…….it is not, but doctors and American citizens…..yep, that is the answer…..more calls and load on docs, and folks in pain……..a marriage made in Tallahassee. One more example of flim flam as if the politicians are selling miracle water and sprinkling the same on heroin addicts is going to solve the problem and save fifty thousand lives……one more governmental intrusion in people’s health care and lives. Instead of focusing on those doctors and patients who were abusing prescriptions, now everyone must bear the pain because of a few who actually believe this bill is going to save lives.
