Stop the DEA from making choices for chronic pain patients and their doctors, who are being forced to close their doors to patients. Legal prescriptions of opiate drugs are not the problem, and people are suffering because of the DEA's policies. Hurting people in chronic pain isn't the way to get drugs off the streets.
Why is this important?
I have been in chronic pain for over 30 years. I, and many, many others are finding our pain medication choices and prescription decisions being driven by the DEA's changing rules. The "war on drugs" is now being taken out on those who live in chronic pain. The decision of what drugs, how many, for how long, what strength, etc should be between patient and doctor, not patient, doctor, and the DEA.
