I asked my LEO tennant for a LOT of advice when my sis was released into my custody that morning....and why she wasn't arrested, etc. These aren't cops he worked with...different city. He said it might have been nothing more than they were at the end of their shift, and wanted to go home and avoid the bs. He's a hardazz type too...no nonsense guy. The LE community is at odds with the docs/pharma on this. Methinks the cops get tired of pissin' in the wind....I dunno. When DMV sent a letter regarding my sis's driving privleges several weeks later...the schit hit the fan...she accused me of turning her in, the clinic was gonna "ruin me", all kinds of bs...went on for months and we no longer have much of a relationship....sucks. I do know this....she drives....with enough methadone in her system to kill 99% of the people on this board every single minute of the day. Is she impaired....not really, honestly, she'd pass a roadside, easy. I don't have answers...but they ARE driving here, in Ohio, and everywhere now....
MAOD is gonna have to be formed after some more folks are killed I reckon....
We, as a society, made a huge shift in attitudes towards driving after alcohol decades ago....some folks are absolutely stone cold sober, at a BAC of .1%, but we don't allow that...why the double standard? Follow the money....big pharma imo.
BTW....the OD death totals are shocking...in looking around, it apoears it's about 50-50, pharma verses heroin/fentanyl nationwide.
No answers here....none.
