Pendulum had broken off and is in outer space. Only people who would sign up for this are the ones who self-select and are automatically very low risk of opioid misuse. The ones who demand more opioids are the problem. This proposed legislation is asinine and pointless.

What a bunch of tool bags! They're acting like we're forcing narc's down our patients' throats. This should be in the Onion
