The hidden cost to the war on pain killers!  This is the result when politicians meddle into our health care system, forcing the needy to go to the streets looking for pain killers!  FAKE NEWS has over-reported on pain killing drugs, as well as the hope cannabis would be to millions!

Chronic pain from cancer, arthritis, and other conditions drives millions of people to suicide every year, a new report warns. 

The mortal implications of pain have been widely discussed in recent years since the opioid epidemic showed painkillers can drive anyone to overdose, whether intentionally or not.

In recent years, the number of chronic pain patients intentionally taking their own lives has soared, with most cases committed using a firearm.
