The Decade of Pain Law expired in 2009-2010 and the political majority of Congress had FLIPPED and it was not renewed.
Between 1985 and 2025 our population has increased 43%. Between 2010 & 2025 the MME/capita reduced 54 %
The number of opioid Rxs filled peaked 2010-2012.
Between 2010 & 2023 number of filled opioid Rxs dropped 69%
The graphic directly below is from ~ 2014.
If you look at the last graphic on this page, notice that OD/poisoning was flat to lower from 2012 on Rx opioids, but OD/poisoning from synthetic opioids (illegal Fentanyl, etc) went from abt 5,000 to 70,000 by 2021. while at abt the same time frame filled Rx opioids dropped 64%.
Maybe someone should asked the DOJ/DEA how they come to the conclusion that Rx opioids is behind all the increased OD/poisoning over abt 14 yr period, when the number of filled Rx opioids dropped down by nearly 2/3 in the same/similar time frame. Maybe the DOJ/DEA’s agenda is based on outdated facts and just working on their fabricated opinions.
