Heroin Free Delivery Like Pizza To A Nearby Corner Just A Call Away Sweeps Over U.S. As Big Pharma And Physicians Dump Millions Addicted To Opioids

     Sunday, 19 April 2015, NEW YORK, NY - The largely unreported heroin epidemic now raging across the United States as addressed in a recent Ninth Amendment post is the direct result of a massively aggressive campaign (i.e. "pushing drugs") of large pharmaceutical companies' marketing based on obvious lies and compliant physicians obediently "suspending disbelief" that opioids are addictive many of whom in recent years made a fortune and/or generous tax-free "benefits" selling and dispensing opioids in huge numbers greater than any except hypertension medications but now dumping millions of painkiller addicted patients on the streets to become heroin addicts afraid of increased regulatory pressure reportedly with such subtle reminders as "personal visits" by drug enforcement authorities of physicians and even pharmacies notably since recent years' "crackdown" on the opioid and synthetic opioid "painkilllers" such as OxyContin, oxycodone aka Percocet, and most recently rescheduled hydrocodone aka Vicadin aka Lortab aka Norco.
     This of course was just the latest in an abysmally long series of DEA (home of the "international drug cartel prostitute sex party boys") unbelievably misguided, oblivious and/or worse darkly intentional policies "clamping down" on its latest drug scare which policy lays waste to those presumably for whose own good it would "regulate" meanwhile inuring to the direct benefit of those in the drug trade opening up as usual for drug syndicates vast new opportunities for explosive profit via the unregulated "dispensing" of drugs of unknown quality and composition and of course helping to insure the continued seeming perpetual employment of those invested in drug "enforcement" by further extending the permanent robust health of the illegal drug trade. As has been many times observed the DEA policies could not do a better job assisting the drug cartels (who in apparent thanks and encouragement give DEA agents weapons and other bribes and host DEA prostitute sex parties as recently detailed in the Ninth Amendment) than if the drug cartels where establishing the "drug enforcement" laws and policies themselves. This so much belabors the obvious as to be tiresome to repeat ad nauseum.
     Free market pressures coming to the rescue an industrious group from rural Mexico known has the "Xalisco Boys" has as detailed in The New York Times article below developed and is executing a currently apparently ideal local business model controlling manufacture, wholesale and retail sales (even giving free samples like drug reps and making follow-up customer service survey calls) to serve the heroin needs of those across the United States (without an already established heroin dealer home market) with just a telephone call and a nearby pickup of what usually is the less processed heroin known as "black tar" which according to the article can be injected or smoked. Advance planning is essential as The New York Times reports the Xalisco Boys maintain strict business hours of 7 AM to 7 PM. Readers interested in more information including about the reportedly recent threefold increase in largely publicly unreported heroin overdose deaths are directed to the below link.
     THE NINTH AMENDMENT DOES NOT PURPORT TO NOR DOES IT PROVIDE ANY MEDICAL ADVICE WHATSOEVER TO ANY PERSON WHATSOEVER AT ALL. READERS AND ALL IN NEED OF MEDICAL ADVICE MUST CONSULT THEIR PROPERLY LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.

Fentanyl Narcotic Heroin Additive Nationwide Alert Issued By U.S. DEA

     Tuesday, 31 March 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) headquarters on 18 March 2015 issued a nationwide alert on the Schedule II narcotic anesthetic/analgesic fentanyl and analogs which reportedly are 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine and 30 to 50 times more potent than heroin according to DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart who also states that the euphoric effects of fentanyl are indistinguishable from morphine and heroin.
     Ms. Leonhart states that fentanyl is potentially lethal at doses as low as 0.25 milligrams. The Ninth Amendment does note that the drug not uncommonly is prescribed by pain control specialists including as patches for controlled release through the skin. Fentanyl may be laced into heroin and can be extremely dangerous by injection having been known to kill even anesthesiologists who given more ready access to fenatanyl have abused it and overdosed and according to at least one physician have in some cases even been found dead while on duty in hospitals with syringes still in their arms.
     The DEA warning was issued largely because nationally "heroin abuse has increased". Ninth Amendment field reporters confirm that in fact by all appearances a renewed heroin epidemic affecting all "classes" of society has been sweeping across the United States. This has been recognized individually by a rapidly growing number of states left to face the consequences of the problem but seemingly has not yet been publicly recognized by the United States government. CNN's Anthony Bordain in his "Parts Unknown" series while reporting one heroin ravaged upstate New York community where he attended a meeting of former addicts apparently identified himself as having been addicted and moreover also observed that a heroin epidemic has caught up not only traditional problem urban areas but small and rural communities stretching across the country without discrimination as to race or economic status.
     Reasons for this new heroin epidemic may include that not for the first time a hopefully well-intentioned DEA initiative has gone seemingly predictably badly awry in this case being the rescheduling of opiate medications widely prescribed in the United States with no effective followup or backup plan in the case of consequences unpredictable apparently at least to the DEA. The DEA is not a health agency but an enforcement agency like the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) both under the auspices of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ).
     The Ninth Amendment previously has reported in an earlier post for example on the DEA's years-long effort pressuring the independent U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reschedule hydrocodone aka Norco aka Vicadin and other names apparently finally successfully resulting in later 2014 in the prescription medication's reclassification from Schedule III to Schedule II (with a six-month grandfathering exception into 2015 for patients with refillable prescriptions of the medication at the time of the rescheduling). At the time of the rescheduling hydrocodone was the second most prescribed medication in the United States after hypertension medications.
     Nationwide millions of former and present patients have become addicted to opiates in recent years by prescription medications from physicians who "Big Pharma" effectively through massive "promotional" bribery were convinced to suspend disbelief that opiates were addictive. At least one pharmaceutical company while hosting physicians to an all expenses paid week-long paid junket at an exotic location at one of the "teaching presentations" justifying the tax-free promotional holiday actually represented that obviously potentially highly addictive opiates posed less than a 1% chance of patient addiction. The aggressive efforts of big pharmaceutical companies to market opiates through physicians was wildly successful resulting in an unprecedented number of patients being prescribed them in various opium derived and synthetic opioid medications.
     Now with the changed regulatory climate many patients are finding themselves addicted to opiates as physicians effectively dump many of them on the streets as they try to distance themselves from intense scrutiny from the DEA, FDA or state medical boards according to more than one physician. This pressure has increased to the point of increased personal visits by federal drug agents extending according to one pharmacist even to pharmacies. Meanwhile many states have brought or joined lawsuits against the large pharmaceutical companies for their extreme marketing of drugs known to result in high addiction rates which are costing states hundreds of millions of dollars in health costs and untold potentially "ruined lives" of their citizens.
     The Ninth Amendment emphasizes "potentially" ruined lives as a reminder that as shown by Anthony Bourdain's above-referenced CNN "Unknown Parts" episode in which he sat in on a community meeting of former addicts where government assistance is completely lacking or unavailable there are others who have come to fill the vacuum or have long been there as in the case of Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and other similar groups. The Ninth Amendment does not purport to provide any medical advice whatsoever to anyone at all. Those in need of medical advice must seek it from a properly licensed health professional.
     Readers interested in more information on fentanyl and its analogs may go to the link directly below to the above-referenced DEA headquarters alert below although directed mainly to law enforcement is informative and also has a link to another DEA site section with apparently more scientific and/or medical background on fentanyl. Those who do not wish to visit the DEA site should be able easily to search for more information on fentanyl using their preferred search engine or the Wikipedia search function located here at the bottom section of the Ninth Amendment.

BREAKING - FDA Finally Caves To Drug Enforcement Agency Latest Policy Disaster Scheme To OK Top Medical Criminal Tier For Vicodin, Lortab Hydrocodone Painkillers

       Friday, 25 October 2013, WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a probable major victory for the DEA in its relentless "battle" to stay alive and ever expand in a nearly 40-year-long ceaselessly losing "war" of its own creation former drug-dealing President Barack Obama's FDA has given the "bombs away" signal for moving long-term painkillers brand names like Vicodin, Lortab (hydrocodone plus totally unnecessary amounts of acetominophen at DEA urging to insure destruction of as many living human livers as possible - a la paraquat, or aspirin) up to the highest tier of prescription medications along with morphine, oxycontin and amphetamines as soon as early next year.
       The DEA as usual follows in the footsteps of its predecessor Federal Bureau of Narcotics infamous for its Chief Harry Angslinger amongst other things (despite not being a doctor last we heard) awarding a lifetime prescription of morphine to former American Congressional hero Senator Joseph McCarthy conveniently refillable at will at the nearest Capitol Hill Pharmacy. If its latest ill-conceived  policy foray is enacted the DEA may have a chance at one-upping its relatively recent drugdealing fed rivals at the CIA ("birth of crack cocaine") outfit, although Afghanistan may present some intriguing opportunities for both drug-dealing agencies. Singer-songwriter Elvis Presley was named an official "special" drug-fighting agent just to demonstrate how seriously the former President Nixon took his completely insincere cynically announced "War on Drugs". Nixon awarded an official badge at the White House for Presley's drug-fighting efforts. Presley later died on the toilet during a drug overdose.

F.D.A. Seeks Tighter Control on Prescriptions for Class of Painkillers

The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday recommended tighter controls on how doctors prescribe the most commonly used narcotic painkillers.

The move, which represents a major policy shift, follows a decade-long debate over whether the widely abused drugs, which contain the narcotic hydrocodone, should be controlled as tightly as more powerful painkillers such as OxyContin.

The drugs at issue contain a combination of hydrocodone and an over-the-counter painkiller like acetaminophen or aspirin and are sold either as generics or under brand names like Vicodin or Lortab. Doctors use the medications to treat pain from injuries, arthritis, dental extractions and other problems.
