After the overdose: A family's journey into grief and guilt

clairegalofaro It's heart breaking

This opioid “crisis” is benefitting addicts only & while that’s laudable, y does it hv 2 come at expense of millions of chronic pain patients now suffering excruciating pain due 2 forced tapers of life saving pain meds? They hv a choice, CPP’s don’t. Address THAT issue!

clairegalofaro Not to diminish the excellent writing and heart sick story, but is the 400k from opioids accurate. The 70k in 2017 was NOT from opioids alone. In fact, 20k or so didn’t involve opioids at all. Not to mention the nearly 2million dead from alcohol in last 20 years!

clairegalofaro Parents should not carry the entire responsibility, only the person that decides to get into that area of 'no return' choose to take that route for whatever reason ! Each head; each World in itself!

clairegalofaro I often thought how to wipe out Americans from the face of earth....found out opioid epidemic is the best solution...

clairegalofaro If you watch the news you’d think vaping is killing 400k a year. Vaping has killing no one. Cigarettes kill 480k a year. But vaping is an epidemic? Stop watching/reading the news. It’s making people stupid. 👆🏼Actual “epidemics” 👆🏼

clairegalofaro This is definitely moving, but overall it's disappointing because it misses almost all of the overall context of the overdose epidemic. Many journalists focus on human interest, but almost none seem able or willing to step back and look at the important and complex larger picture

clairegalofaro In many ways We feel like this family. 😢

clairegalofaro We know the answer is clinical distribution but we don't have the guts. Is it better to send our kids to the dangerous streets to cop, living as desperate outlaws, than distribute the drugs at a clinic with quality control and drug counselors available daily? ProhibitionKills

clairegalofaro This is amazing writing and honesty from Landon’s parents. I hope they find some peace in helping others with his story. No one ever talks about the afterwards or all the lives forever changed. It was one of the most moving pieces I ever read. Sounds like they tried so hard

clairegalofaro LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) — There is nothing left to do, no more frantic phone calls to make, no begging or fighting that can fix this because the worst thing that could happen already has, After the overdose: A family's journey into grief and guilt

clairegalofaro So when are we building a wall around Big Pharma & The Prescribers?

clairegalofaro And for all those who died, there are hundreds of thousands more who have derailed their lives or moved on to other addictions, and all those who've turned to heroin when their Oxy was taken away from them when they were already addicted to it.

clairegalofaro This is what we should all being putting our efforts into. I wish the families of those that have been lost, peace, but promise that, all of us who can, will work to stop this true human tragedy continuing

clairegalofaro And libertarians want to make these legal?

clairegalofaro Hey FakeNewsMedia? How many American lives do we have to lose for you to wake up & stop fighting against building a wall & securing our border? Exactly how many US citizens have to die before countermeasures are appropriate? Asking for a friend.. KateSteinle OfficerSingh

clairegalofaro Thank your Democratics !!!

clairegalofaro Build a wall

clairegalofaro Build that wall.

clairegalofaro Wow, 400,000 dead in 20 years. That's staggering, especially since we've done very little about it. Meanwhile, 1% of that many Americans have been killed by terrorists in that time, and we've shaped our entire foreign policy around it.

clairegalofaro my god this powerful! my heart goes out to Brittaney, Mollie & Doug...while i am not experiencing a GriefState from the opioidcrisis i feel so many similarities to their pain...thank you AP!

clairegalofaro Build the Wall MakeAmericaGreatAgain

clairegalofaro More people have died from a PHARMACEUTICAL production, heavily promoted and prescribed than any illegals or Isis terror attacks. Yet they scream about s fucking wall

clairegalofaro Why hasn’t anyone went after these big pharma companies. Opiates have been used since ancient times to enslave people people. How do you justify giving someone a drug to relieve their pain, that will cause them to experience more pain than they began with once the drug wears off.

clairegalofaro Ahem...national crisis here, not at the border. Put a fence around big pharma.

clairegalofaro I've been thru this. My wife is going through it w alcohol right now. I've lost friends. I've lost family. I've lost everything over and over. This article got to me like nothing before. I'm just so lost for words.

clairegalofaro Read every word. Heart sick.

clairegalofaro And u bust trumps balls for wanting border security .smh.

clairegalofaro If 400,000 people had been murdered by some ethnic “other” we would have already spent millions to vanquish them. But this death was made in America, promoted in America and distributed in America. Homeland Insecurity. National self sabotage?

clairegalofaro This story came out this week and nobody is even talking about the family behind OxyCotin. I wonder why...

clairegalofaro THIS RIGHT HERE is the national emergency that Trump is looking for. Why no attention from Trump?

clairegalofaro More Trump Winning !

clairegalofaro 💔

clairegalofaro Afghanistan, China, CIA

clairegalofaro Forget the sympathy lock them up. We need another War On Drugs!

clairegalofaro This is the real serious national crisis!

clairegalofaro Chickens coming home to roost no one cared when the CIA flooded the black community with crack cocaine in the 80s

clairegalofaro Oh my goodness! The government must do everything! When will people realize You are the government start taking charge of your own life!

clairegalofaro Is that less than gun violence or more?

clairegalofaro This is why we need a wall...around pharmacies.

clairegalofaro We need to strengthen the war on drugs.

clairegalofaro The biggest tragedy in America that is not talked about enough.
