DEA Just Admitted To Selling Drugs On Streets – Youth ‘Informants’ Forced To Help

www.countercurrentnews.com/2017/04/dea-just-admitted-to-selling-drugs-on-streets-youth-informants-forced-to-help/

The War on Drugs, carried out by the DEA, continues unabated since its establishment in the 1970s during the Nixon administration era.

For years, countless arrests have occurred, many of them for victimless crimes involving cannabis. Large sentences are dealt, some carrying hefty jail times.

Only this week, Canada unveiled their legislation to fully legalize cannabis, acknowledging the War on Drugs is fruitless. “We know that criminal prohibition has failed,” said former police chief turned MP Bill Blair. “Legalization seeks to regulate and restrict access to cannabis and will make Canada safer.”

But cannabis isn’t the topic for debate. Blair summoned up what is pertinent to the War on Drugs across every nation: that it has failed.

The hypocrisy that is the DEA’s refusal to acknowledge the medicinal benefits of cannabis cannot go unnoted; yet, more importantly,  they have been caught red-handed, admitting tacitly during a House Judiciary Committee Hearing that the DEA sells drugs to people on the streets with the goal of catching “bigger fish.”

The War on Drugs is perpetuated by the Drug Enforcement Agency who insists on locking people up for years at a time, for possession of what is still scheduled as a Class A substance, though now legal in many US states.

In the first week of April, the DEA was questioned over whether they allow shipments of drugs into the community for the sake of making a bigger bust down the track. The Washington Post reported on the transcript between Louisiana Democratic Rep. Cedric L. Richmond asking the DEA’s appointed acting director Chuck Rosenberg on the issue:

“RICHMOND: This committee held many hearings, and was furious about the Fast and Furious program. At least from my knowledge of DEA and other drug agencies, oftentimes part of a bigger sting is letting transactions and other things go through. Now, it’s a very specific question. In DEA’s past, present, future, any times do you let drugs hit communities to get the bigger fish?

ROSENBERG: We’re not supposed to, no, sir.

RICHMOND: Okay. Are you aware of any instances where it may happen?

ROSENBERG: I’ll have to check and get back to you on that.”

Although Rosenberg didn’t outright confirm it, he didn’t deny the allegation either. If he had, he would have perjured himself at the committee hearing.

The Washington Post notes Rosenberg’s unwillingness to be forthcoming unsurprising as there is “considerable evidence that DEA does allow drugs to enter communities in the hopes of bringing down major players in drug dealing and distribution.”

Eighteen months ago, the DEA was also criticized by the Department of Justice’s Inspector General for approving illegal activities of sources.

“These inadequate DEA policies and procedures related to OIA greatly increase the risk to the DEA, the U.S. government, and the public from the involvement of DEA confidential sources in OIA,” the audit report stated.

CBS’ 60 Minutes also covered a story about “confidential informants” – or many young college students getting “recruited” by law enforcement to carry out undercover drug buys “in exchange for having their charges reduced or dropped altogether.” Most of the charges stem from cannabis possession of small amounts.

“These kids are being recruited to do the most dangerous type of police work. They’re going undercover, with no background, training, or experience. They haven’t been to the police academy,” Lance Block, an attorney in Tallahassee, Florida told reporters.

Block became aware of the practice when Rachel Hoffman’s family hired him for representation. Hoffman was a college graduate on her second marijuana arrest when she became an informant. She signed on; otherwise facing a four year jail term, Hoffman was killed weeks later in a historic Tallahassee undercover buy involving an ounce and a half of cocaine and a gun.

“She was a pot head,” Block said. She had no experience in weapons or hard drugs.

Hoffman, monitored by 20 officers was forced to drive to a different location when the dealers changed plans. She was alone in her car with $13,000 cash from police to use in the deal. Hoffman was shot five times after the dealers discovered she had a wire on her. Her body was dumped in a ditch, Block said.

It’s a reminder of the DEA’s guilt. Although the agency refuses to release information pertaining to these sorts of deals with youth informants, experts say the DEA engages in the practice, selling drugs on the street.

Are The Majority Of Drugs Coming From Mexico? Trump Says His Wall Will Stop It All

https://www.romper.com/p/are-the-majority-of-drugs-coming-from-mexico-trump-says-his-wall-will-stop-it-all-53228

Looks at the map of the USA… and who believes that building a wall along the few thousand miles between the USA and Mexico and it will solve our drug problem ?  Leaving the entire border along with Gulf of Mexico, the entire east coast, west coast and Canadian borders..There are BILLIONS of dollars in it for the various drug cartels.. they are just going to “give up” when/if the wall is built ? First it was making Oxycontin “abuse proof” and there was a shift to “street drugs”… then there was a tightening/restriction of legal opiates to both legal and bogus pts and now we are dealing with Heroin mixed with illegal Fentanyl analogs on the street and opiate OD’s are increasing exponentially and while numbers are not being released… but…we are spending an increasing fortune on Narcan/Naloxone reviving the same people over and over again… because … we revive them and send them back to the environment that facilitated them using/abusing various substances.

On Monday, the Associated Press released its transcript of its interview with President Donald Trump, who spoke about his first 100 days in office. Trump again spoke of his infamous wall, and how it will become a working monument to America’s war on drugs. “The wall will stop the drugs,” Trump told the AP’s White House correspondent Julie Pace on Friday, after noting that “drugs are pouring through on the southern border.” Are the majority of drugs coming from Mexico into the United States?

According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, much of the nation’s most used illicit drugs are actually coming from Mexico and other South American countries — but the drug crisis in American is far more complicated than just illicit border crossings and drug mules. While America’s opioid epidemic touches every corner of the country, it didn’t start at the U.S.-Mexico border — rather, it began in doctors’ offices and hospitals.

Abuse of prescription painkillers like OxyContin has often become a gateway to heroin. When the prescription runs out but the addiction remains, heroin is an alternative to circumvent increasing — and necessary — regulatory restrictions on prescription painkillers. Even though the drugs may be getting into the United States through its southern border, the problem starts long before Mexican drug cartels ever come into the picture.

CNN on YouTube

Between 2007 and 2013, the United States saw a 244 percent jump in heroin-related deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A February report from the CDC revealed that 25 percent of overdoses are from heroin. Nearly all of America’s heroin comes from Mexico and South America, according to the DEA. While heroin production is typically associated with the poppy fields of Afghanistan, the reality in 2017 is that 46 percent of America’s heroin now comes from Mexico, thanks in large part to Mexican drug cartels.

Likewise, most of America’s fentanyl comes from Mexico, according to the DEA. Fentanyl is a controlled pharmaceutical painkiller much like morphine, oxycodone, or hydrocodone — but is far more potent. In 2016, musician Prince accidentally overdosed on fentanyl; this type of death is not uncommon among people who abuse painkillers as they fail to realize just how potent and deadly fentanyl can be in small doses. Increasingly, law enforcement have found that batches of heroin have fentanyl “cut in” to the final product, creating regional spurts of fentanyl-laced heroin overdoses and deaths.

In addition to heroin and fentanyl, much of America’s methamphetamine, known as “meth” and “crystal meth,” also comes from Mexico — and not just from chemistry teachers’s vans in the New Mexico desert, as Breaking Bad would have you believe. But America’s meth labs — particularly in the Midwest — are certainly a homegrown problem as pervasive as illegally trafficked Mexican meth is invasive.

Giphy

While there’s no doubt that the majority of America’s most illicit drugs come from Mexico, building a wall will do little to stop drugs from “pouring through” the nation’s Mexican border. Trump’s argument is that a physical wall will somehow halt the entirety of the illegal Mexican-U.S. drug trade. While drug seizures at the U.S.-Mexico border are common, just how drugs come into the United States isn’t just limited to land crossings. As the DEA noted in its 2015 National Drug Threat Assessment Summary, drug smugglers are even using drones to send drugs into the country.

The wall could stop some of the drug traffic into the United States, but it certainly won’t stop all of it. Trump himself even noted that his wall might only stop as little as “1 percent of the drugs coming in,” as he told the AP Friday. Trump thinks his wall will only cost $10 billion, but a U.S. Department of Homeland Security internal report obtained by Reuters estimates Trump’s wall will cost more than $20 billion — and that’s an awful lot of money for a what amounts to a wide-mesh drug sieve rather than an airtight wall against drugs from Mexico.

truTV on YouTube

As much as Trump wants to put “America first,” he could learn a thing or two from Portugal and Uruguay. Portugal was the first European country to decriminalize drugs. Instead of seeing addicts as criminals, Portugal takes a rehabilitative approach. Uruguay legalized marijuana in 2013, taking the cue from other nations who focus on rehabilitation instead of criminalization. In both countries, the results have been astonishing: Portugal has the lowest drug use rates in Europe. Uruguay has managed to substantially undermine marijuana trafficking by allowing its government to sell a gram of marijuana for just $1; consumers are limited to 40 grams per month.

VICE on YouTube

It’s important to remember that decriminalization doesn’t mean you can pick up your dime bag of weed at your local grocer’s — but it’s the first step to changing the “culture of drugs” Trump repeatedly brings up when he justifies his wall. If America starts treating drug addiction as an illness instead of a crime, then there’s no need to build a wall. America’s war on drugs has failed. It’s time to stop investing in war and scare tactics and direct that money towards rehabilitation.

But Trump has already proven he won’t be the leader to take on that helm, when he advocated for a Republican health care bill that would have eliminated addiction treatment as an essential health benefit. For Trump, it’s all about making grand gestures in black and white — from his show-and-tell executive order signings to building a wall — but tackling America’s drug problem requires far more nuanced finesse than this administration has been able to demonstrate in its first 100 days.

Action 9: Drug company close to paying $35 million settlement

http://www.wsoctv.com/news/action-9/action-9-drug-company-close-to-paying-35-million-settlement/515653827

Some people might be entitled to a portion of a $35 million settlement. It is part of one of the biggest drug company settlements in U.S. history.

The Federal Trade Commission and multiple state attorneys general said the companies that made the popular sleep-disorder drug PROVIGIL — Cephalon Inc. and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries — illegally blocked competition. The government said the drug makers paid competitors more than $300 million not to make generics for six years.

The FTC went after the drug makers in 2008, and both sides settled in 2015. The drug companies didn’t admit wrongdoing, but agreed to pay $1.2 billion, including that $35 million for patients – patients like Mike Daisley. 

Daisley found out when he was 25 he had multiple sclerosis. He’s 61 now and a lawyer, which can be physically draining, especially with MS, so he uses PROVIGIL. 

“It helped me stay alert; helped me stay on top of my game,” he said.

But he said he would have taken a generic if he could have, and now Daisley wants in on that payout.

“I’m not anti-pharma. I’m not anti-drug manufacturer. I’ve benefited from that drug,” he told Action 9 investigator Jason Stoogenke. “But they ought to be fair about the business practices that they do, Jason. They ought not to engage in unfair competitive behavior.”

There are a lot of rules about who is eligible for a payout. Customers had to buy PROVIGIL between June 24, 2006, and March 31, 2012. Customers must file a claim by June 25.

How Do Former Opioid Addicts Safely Get Pain Relief After Surgery?

http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/04/20/519481712/how-do-former-opioid-addicts-safely-get-pain-relief-after-surgery

Nearly 1.5 million Americans were treated for addiction to prescription opioids or heroin in 2015, according to federal estimates, and when those people get seriously hurt or need surgery, it’s often not clear, even to many doctors, how to safely manage their pain. For some former addicts, what begins as pain relief ends in tragedy.

Max Baker is one such case. He started using prescription pain pills as a teenager in New England and quickly moved on to heroin. His father, Dr. James Baker, is a physician in the Worcester, Mass., area, and says he saw signs that his son was high on opioids — in Max’s pupils and skin tone. He begged Max to stop.

“He would have slurred speech, and be nodding off at the dinner table, and we’d go to a concert together and he would disappear and come back acting differently,” James Baker says.

It was a long, painful slog, but Max eventually sought help. When he was 22, he was prescribed an opioid called suboxone, a standard relapse prevention drug that helps wean people off opioids. After a year, he’d worked his way off that medication, too.

“He called me just a few days before Christmas in 2014,” Max’s father remembers. James Baker still has the voicemail message.

“I just wanted to touch base with you,” Max said in the message. “And also I wanted to let you know that I got a job.”

“It didn’t matter to him if he was washing dishes or delivering pizza,” James Baker says. “He was working.”

Max signed up at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell to continue his education — he’d decided he wanted to be a doctor, like his father.

By all accounts, the young man’s recovery was a success story. Then, as he drove home from a class one day in late 2016, a single moment derailed everything.

“A young teenage girl didn’t see him and just pulled out in front of him, and they had a major accident,” says James Baker.

Max’s injuries included a broken bone in his hand that required surgery. He told his surgeon — Dr. James Shenko — right away about his addiction, and that he was scared that medication used for anesthesia and pain might cause a relapse.

To minimize that possibility, Shenko turned to the anesthesiologists on the team.

“And it became a big discussion between myself and anesthesia,” Shenko says. “They were uncomfortable treating this patient differently than other patients because they felt that wasn’t fair to the patient.”

There isn’t any definitive guidance for doctors on how to best anesthetize patients like Max during surgery or how to prevent and ease their pain afterward. The anesthesiologists pointed to research showing that opioid-dependent patients who are on relapse prevention drugs (like suboxone) do fine with anesthesia and opioid painkillers afterward. But Max was no longer taking suboxone — he’d been off that medication for a year.

The anesthesiologist wound up using the normal drug cocktail to sedate Max for the surgery — a mix of drugs that included opioids. And the surgery went well.

It was afterward, his father says, when Max was hurting, that the young patient confronted his surgeon and asked for opioids. “I need medicine for this pain,” Max told Shenko. “I need real medicine.”

The surgeon took James Baker aside. “He had mist in his eyes,” Baker remembers. “He put his arm around me, said, ‘I don’t know what to do, Jim.’ “

“It was horrible,” Shenko says. “Because you’re a doctor — you don’t want people to be in pain. But my fear is, ‘this kid is going to go back to — his life is going to be altered because of what we’re doing, in a bad way.’ “

Shenko also feared that if he didn’t give Max the drugs he wanted — if he prescribed a non-opioid and that didn’t work as well — Max would find his own opioid supply.

“I think he would have said, ‘I’m going to take matters into my own hands.’ Absolutely,” Shenko says.

In the end, the surgeon prescribed Max just a small amount of Vicodin — an opioid.

Less than a month later, Max died of a heroin overdose. He was 23 years old.

There’s no way of knowing what triggered the relapse. Had he come off the subxone treatment for his addiction too soon? Did the opioids give him a taste of the drugs he’d previously managed to kick — enough of a taste to relaunch the cravings? Or was he trying to self-medicate — to ease his physical pain from the car accident and surgery — and simply took too much? Dr. Shenko, the hand surgeon, has been asking himself those questions.

“What could you have done differently, what do you change, how do you do something differently,” Shenko wonders. “How do you treat patients like this?”

He now thinks hospital surgeons and anesthesiologists need to have ready access to addiction specialists, even before the surgery.

“Let’s bring in somebody, a specialist in dependency and addiction into this equation, and let’s manage it through that,” Shenko says.

Dr. Stuart Gitlow, past president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, agrees. If a surgeon or anesthesiologist were treating a patient with serious diabetes, they’d consult an endocrinologist. Addiction, he says, is no different.

“Whether he gets the opioids or not is less of the question,” Gitlow says. “The biggest question is what to do to ensure this patient’s safety going forward during the period for which he’s experiencing pain?”

Gitlow says in Max’s case, it’s not that the addiction treatment didn’t work. It’s that it ended. And an addiction specialist might have made sure the surgery was followed by a stay in a sober living environment, a methadone prescription, or some other kind of treatment.

But there aren’t enough addiction specialists to meet the need. Nearly 2.5 million Americans are said to be addicted to prescription opioids or heroin. And there are only about 5,000 addiction specialists in the country — most of whom aren’t affiliated with hospitals.

It’s a problem that Max’s father now sees all too clearly. He says when Max was in recovery, he’d ask his son what he could do to help him, and Max replied: ” ‘Just be there, Dad. Let me know you’ll always be there.’ “

Now, James Baker says, he wants to be there for others fighting addiction. He’s done what he needs to do to become certified to prescribe suboxone — the same drug that got Max off heroin initially — in the hopes of preventing more tragedies like the one that devastated his family.

This New Anti-Trump Tech Is The Most Genius Thing Of 2017

https://www.good.is/admin/preview/post/anti-trump-tech

Nearly two months into Trump’s presidency, we’ve seen all the stories imploring us to write, call, and fax our senators about the issues that matter most to us. We’ve done our best to digest and implement most of them. Of course, GOOD is certainly guilty of adding to the mounting pile of well-intentioned suggestions, mostly because we can’t imagine not. But we really mean it this time when we say there’s a tech tool that will take the headache out of reaching out to your congresspeople. It’s called “Resistbot,” and it’s by far the easiest way to gradually chip away at Trump’s spirit.

Here’s how it works:

Text “resist” to 50409.

You’ll be prompted to provide your name, zip code, and a message you’d like to send to your senators.

Once you’re happy with your message, Resistbot will format it to look professional and fax it to both of your senators.

And that’s about it. Should you want to fax your representatives as well, you can always text Resistbot your full address.  You can text “resist” any time you want to send another message, as well as edit or preview a letter before you send it. Launched on March 8, the bot is already receiving some positive attention. But don’t assume its designers are merely targeting progressives. As one of the cocreators, Jason Putorti, told Recode via email, “We will faithfully deliver any message our users send in, but the voice of the product is for the liberals and conservatives in opposition to the Trump administration.” (The emphasis is Putorti’s.)

Cocreator Eric Ries saw a need for streamlining the process of opposing Trump, writing on Product Hunt, “Resistbot was born out of my personal frustrations with trying to contact my members of Congress. I know it’s important to do it every day, and there are dozens of blog posts and websites that tell you only a certain way ‘counts’—calls, emails, faxes, town halls, etc.” But for your voice to really count, daily communication has to be practical, leading Ries and his cocreators to come up with the bot solution while making design improvements open source.

While faxes might not necessarily seem as effective as calling your senator or showing up in person to raise hell, Putorti argues that faxes are “just as effective or more so (than phone calls) because there’s no way to truly verify if a call is from a constituent,” Recode reports. “What staffers need are tallies,” says Putorti, “turning constituent input into a count of support for or against. Ideally there would be a much better system for this, but our democracy isn’t perfect, it’s incredibly messy.”

As messy as governmental processes may be, it’s solutions like these that seem to pave a way for better communication between constituents and their elected officials. Our representatives can only do a better job addressing the needs of this country by hearing more from everyday people, not less. As for Trump, he’s about to find out just how much we lazy millennials love to text.

Chronic Pain Patients Say Opioid Law Creates New Crisis

Patients Could Be Jailed in Florida Drug Crackdown

www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2017/4/22/patients-could-be-jailed-in-florida-drug-crackdown

By Pat Anson, Editor

The Florida legislature is close to passing a bill that would require mandatory minimum sentences for anyone convicted of selling, purchasing or possessing illicit fentanyl.

Critics say the legislation could result in pain patients being sent to jail when they unwittingly buy counterfeit painkillers made with fentanyl on the black market.

House Bill 477 was approved unanimously by the Florida House this week.  Similar legislation is under consideration in the Senate. Both bills would put fentanyl, carfentanil, and their chemical cousins in the same drug class as heroin.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid 50 to 100 more potent than morphine.  It is available legally by prescription to treat severe pain, but illicitly manufactured fentanyl has become a scourge across the U.S. and Canada, where it is usually mixed with heroin or used to make counterfeit drugs.

As currently written, the House bill requires anyone convicted of having as little as 4 grams of fentanyl to get a mandatory three year prison term; 14 grams would carry a 15-year sentence; and 28 grams would result in 25 years behind bars.

Judges would have zero discretion to alter the sentences. If the drugs result in someone dying, suspects would face a charge of first degree murder.

While the legislation is primarily aimed at cracking down on dealers, critics say patients desperate for pain relief could also face prison if they buy counterfeit oxycodone and other painkillers laced with fentanyl.

“There’s a massive problem with counterfeit pills,” Greg Newburn, state policy director for Families Against Mandatory Minimums told the Miami New Times.

“You have people who think they’re buying oxy pills who will end up getting labeled as traffickers in fentanyl. A handful of pills could get you three years. If you buy just 44 pills, you could end up with 25 years in prison.”

Newburn was surprised the Florida legislature didn’t learn its lesson from previous efforts to require lengthy prison terms for oxycodone and hydrocodone traffickers. Rigid enforcement of the law led to 2,300 people being sent to prison, including some patients who were simply look for pain relief, according to Reason.com.

“When you look back on how the last mandatory-minimum heroin law was applied, you see that it targeted not just just traffickers but a lot of low-level offenders, people who were never supposed to be targeted by the bill in the first place,” said Newburn. “We had a heroin mandatory-minimum law for 18 years. Lawmakers promised us it would deter drug use, but now we’re in the midst of the worst heroin crisis we’ve ever seen. And the answer to that is to pass another mandatory minimum?”

Florida was one the first states where counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl began to appear. In early 2016, nine people died in Florida’s Pinellas County after ingesting counterfeit Xanax, an anxiety medication.

“Hundreds of thousands of counterfeit prescriptions pills, some containing deadly amounts of fentanyl, have been introduced into U.S. drug markets, exacerbating the fentanyl and opioid crisis,” the DEA warned in a report last year. “Motivated by enormous profit potential, traffickers are exploiting high consumer demand for prescription medications by producing inexpensive, fraudulent prescription pills containing fentanyl.”

As opioid prescriptions have become harder to obtain, some pain patients are turning to the black market for relief. In a recent survey of over 3,100 patients by PNN and the International Pain Foundation, 11 percent said they had obtained opioids illegally on the black market in the year after the CDC’s opioid guidelines were released.
