The Reuters news agency reported in early November that the state of Washington claimed methadone was involved in 64 percent of fatal overdoses of prescription opiates. This is yet another state where this is the case, yet even more money from our tax dollars has gone to support methadone programs with a Federally-funded methadone prescribing mentoring assistance service. Lunacy.
Methadone is a highly addictive and deadly drug that hurts more people than it helps in the long run. Like all drugs, there may be some medical uses, but the astronomically high number of overdose deaths associated with the drug calls for an outside inquiry into why the FDA and other government agencies not only continue to allow it’s wide usage but also promote it to people with chronic pain and opiate addictions.
