I think I've figured out a viable strategy for fighting the ridiculous laws on pain meds
Post Body

I've been trying to come up with a viable strategy to fight all these treasonous laws they keep passing. Up here in Washington, we have the worst laws in the entire US. Things keep getting worse and worse--doctors are more conservative than ever now and lecture constantly, to the point where I want to execute them as traitors rather than seek their help.

My idea is that we should be viewing the overregulation of pain medication as not only an assault on fundamental liberty, but as actual discrimination against a particular class, perhaps egregiously under the ADA. I came up with the idea when I was using an analogy to help someone understand that pain medication is unfairly regulated: I said that you don't have to jump through hoops and deal with traitors to get heart medication or get dialysis.

I think this could be the breakthrough we need to turn this ship around. I don't just want to stop the laws; I want to slow them and actually start reversing them ASAP. Chronic pain is a disability. They pick on us because they are traitors but also because we are easy targets: we don't have the energy or will power to fight back. So if we use the discrimination angle, I think we could stand a good chance against these laws.

Why or why not? Is it too difficult to prove discrimination? I see this as pretty obvious--those disabled by chronic pain are treated fundamentally different than people disabled by anything else. Right? It's so plain to me, I want to start getting in touch with lawyers.
