Old, bitter, up-tighty whitie rightie males don’t attack their own kind. They go after the Faux News and Russia scripted soft targets. They are basically mindless and spineless sheeple following their masters orders like good little minions. “BAHBAHBAH……………..”

Well, the Doctor looks like he might be on medication himself from that photo. The age of the legalized drug dealer under the protection of our government may just be over. However, it took way too long to come to the realization that opioids are overprescribed and are done so in a legal manner that made the pharmaceutical industry and our treasonous government rich. Never forget all this was done LEGALLY, for generations, with the blessing of your Congressmen and past leaders of this country. They committed treason against the American population while terrorizing, persecuting and condemning people for growing and using a relatively harmless alternative that had none of effects of the opioids they pushed on the population. You ALL know I’m talking about Marijuana and the fact is that Marijuana is actually less harmful than any of the legal substances, like alcohol or tobacco, that are sold on store shelves everyday. Your government has committed treason against you and has caused the epidemic that is killing off your children each and every day. You owe them no allegiance. You shouldn’t call them heroes. You need to stop falling for their brainwashing and mind control and you need to teach your children that they are NOT their friends. They are your enemy and they want you to worship them. To hell with them……

I just went through rotator cuff surgery and lisfranc surgery with the use of medical cannabis I was scared to death because my brother died from opioids my sister is my nephew died from heroin addiction all resulting from Doctor’s prescriptions it only takes 5 days to become addicted medical marijuana works and it saves lives I am proof after two major surgeries the sad part is I have to pay for it myself because insurance doesn’t cover it but they would gladly pay for me to get oxycodone no thank you I’ll pay for my own and avoid the death sentence that opioids come with
Get Serious About the Opioid Epidemic Everyone says
Bail should not have been granted for this doctor and the woman. They are now free in the community.
The judicial system needs to get serious about the opioid epidemic and stop having bail granted to drug dealers.
Also has the state of Maryland suspended this doctor’s medical license? He shouldn’t be practicing medicine.
SoulCrusher says
His license won’t be suspended until he is found guilty of the crimes. Bail is a constitutional right and reasonable bail should be granted. You need to realize that this doctor is a product of his environment and the governmental system that allowed ALL of this to occur, for GENERATIONS. Your government was complacent to these activities in the past. Just because they are reforming their treason doesn’t mean they were NOT just as culpable for the acts that are now being prosecuted. Innocent until proven guilty is the mantra, so don’t forget our principles as Americans……

Sad how half of the comments about any crime on this site wind up being race-based. Anyway, this guy, hopefully, has already lost his license, and this couple will pay heavily for their crimes. People die from this stuff. These people are despicable.
