Heads up, CNN is airing 'American Pain' tonight at 8pm est. Maybe, if I pound it enough people will watch it. Don't miss it. We can all talk about it later.

I will watch tonight. Missed first airing. There is an entire other side of tragedy on this subject. My mom is 91. Chronically ill. She literally screams in pain just to stand up from arthritis taken over her body. There is no cartilage left in her knee caps. Bone on bone. Too old for surgery. Four back operations dating back to 70s steel pins chronic nerve damage. The whole thing is a mess. Point of all that. No one in CA will prescribe a pain medicine that will help. Because of this drug situation and situations like this CNN documentary the Government has put strict and almost impossible to follow tasks on Doctors now. They have to report monthly the patient. They have to report reason. They have to report everything they are doing to reduce the patient dosage. How long and why a lower dose medication won't work. It goes on and on. These DRs have told us they can't follow these guidelines and won't prescribe. So she takes a medication that just barely does anything to help. I've gone to a host of Doctors.
Many of the real victims here are those truly ill. They are left to suffer due to actions because of these two clowns and those like them.
Sorry, I know off topic but you keep posting to watch. Please understand those this impacted and not just those out snorting in their car.
Don't miss it, tell your mom to watch, too. You'll never forget it.

It will cross the Nevada border, block the sun from the Sierras & lakes will freeze
