Ducey speaks out against marijuana legalization

[TexasTowelie]

PHOENIX -- Gov. Doug Ducey said he does not see legalizing marijuana as a better alternative to the legal and illegal use and abuse of opiates.

At a press conference Friday, the governor touted laws he has signed designed to deal with the problem of opioid addiction.

That includes requiring physicians who prescribe the drug to check a statewide database to make sure patients are not “doctor shopping” and making it easy for friends and family members of addicts to get naxolone, an antidote to opiate overdoses, over the counter.

And he praised Walgreen’s for making drop boxes available for patients to dump their leftover drugs to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands or poisoning the water supply if flushed down the toilet.

about home made methamphetamine production? This is a real problem, especially in the economically challenged and homeless population.

Ducey, Arpaio and Brewer are opportunists of the worst kind, rump supporters.
