Important post. Addiction is a chronic brain disease and it is critical to reverse misconceptions and stigma.

Some people have Legitimate Pain and
should not be punished for the ones who use drugs illegally. Many Seniors are in pain ---Cancer they need The medication. Any one over 60 should be handled differently.
Most deaths are from the street not a prescribed Doctor.

I don't expect everyone to understand the nature of addiction, but hopefully the discussion will bring a better understanding to some. The opioid addiction's do not normally begin on the street from illegal drug users. Those very people you mention "people have Legitimate Pain"and " Many Seniors are in pain ---Cancer they need The medication" . That is exactly how it begins with "overprescribing" doctors and legitimate patients who get hooked on oxycontin or other opioids. Eventually the supply of prescribed drugs dry up for them, but they are already hooked on strong, addictive opioids and they find themselves turning to the "street" pharmacists to meet their needs and self prescribing and medicating themselves. These "street pharmacists, I think the Police call them drug dealers and pushers, don't adhere to the same quality control measures as pharmaceutical manufacturers, often resulting in death to the users. I hope your luck holds out and no one you know falls into the vicious cycle of addiction, but odds are pretty good you will be dealing with someone facing an addiction eventually. Whether that is drugs, alcohol or tobacco, it is out there.

Maybe if capitol region stops giving free meds to all the hartford residents who turn around and sell them or trade them. Been going on for years. A zanax is worth two bags of heroin on south marshall street ...

I have a friend who, as a result of a motorcycle accident, was hospitalized.
He became addicted while in the hospital.
Luckily, his Dr. figured it out & detoxed him before he was released.

The claws of addiction to opiates and opioids are incredible. Until psychedelics involving LSD, psilocybin or (to some degree) ibogaine are mainstream, the issue of positive LONG term or permanently effective addiction treatment will elude the USA.

Now THERE is an educated, research based response. Not the typical knee-jerk, undereducated view often seen on this fine blog. Thank you.

There’s nothing wrong with marijuana use. You can do anything you can normally do but you realize it’s not worth the effort......
Thank you.

Research proves contrary to your comment. By nature, Cannabis is psychologically addictive and its use foments other psychological disorders. Nonetheless, it should behoove Hartford’s tax payers to demand continuous narcotics’ testing for any city employee or elected official. The City doesn’t need anymore cloudy judgment by its so called leaders.

When you start your day with a day stopper not much gets done.
Just what we need everyone running around smoked up.
I love it, easy to get promotions and take advantage of them like taking candy from a baby.
