re.... I think opiates are an excellent remedy, and a relatively cheap one, for pain.

I believe...the elderly..in need...
should be allowed to grow their own.....

a now dead pal...used to grow poppies in his garden...
he made a knock out tea..from the dried pods.........

no problems with the cost...

simple...cheap.....fun..(he was always..very mellow..)

If the woman doesn't have much, then of course, she needs help. My point really is just that we should means test. And you might have missed me saying we need to take the income caps out.

But I am probably less generous than you are.

And I'm not flippant about pain meds. I mean it. Pain management is not something we do well right now in this country. I think we should do better, and it would make people more productive. No flip.
