Suspend teachers not educating the children. College should pay back the children if they can not find job. To get fire there needs to be a spark, the children spark has become online device. They are being target of activists. Bullys have gone from playgrounds to online.Restrict the use of online. Restrict the use of backpacks, to stop drugs, online devices and harm. American has laws for under age for drinking, driving, working, American should extend these laws to online use until the child are able to understand. More help must be given  to the Board Patrol.....    The Federal government spends a net amount of $45.8 billion on illegal aliens and their U.S.-born children. This amount includes expenditures for public education, medical care, justice enforcement initiatives, welfare programs and other miscellaneous costs. It also factors in the meager amount illegal aliens pay to the federal government in income, social security, Medicare and excise taxes.   The total cost of illegal immigration to U.S. taxpayers is both staggering and crippling. In 2013,  estimated the total cost to be approximately $113 billion. So, in under four years, the cost has risen nearly $3 billion. This is a disturbing and unsustainable trend. At the federal, state, and local levels, taxpayers shell out approximately $134.9 billion to cover the costs incurred by the presence of more than 12.5 million illegal aliens, and about 4.2 million citizen children of illegal aliens. That amounts to a tax burden of approximately $8,075 per illegal alien family member and a total of $116,000,000,000.   Demonstration Authorization Act of 1978,  Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (FACA).  The national government should be deferential to the States when taking action that affects the policymaking discretion of the States and should act only with the greatest caution where State or local governments have identified uncertainties regarding the constitutional or statutory authority of the national government. With respect to Federal statutes and regulations administered by the States, the national government shall grant the States the maximum administrative discretion possible. Intrusive Federal oversight of State administration is neither necessary nor desirable. Required federal agencies must consult with state and local officials early in the process of developing proposed regulation where the regulation will impose substantial direct compliance costs on State and local governments and that is not required by statute. Redact all PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATIONTo quote the data provided from the DEA Proposed Rule on Placement of MAB-CHMINACA into Schedule 1, MAB-CHMINACA was associated with a cluster of 125 subjects who presented to emergency facilities within the Baton Rouge and Shreveport, Louisiana areas in October 2014...From October 2014 to the present, multiple clusters of overdoses involving MAB-CHMINACA and at least eight deaths attributed to the abuse of MAB-CHMINACA have been reported. Adverse health effects associated with these incidents involving MAB-CHMINACA have included: Seizures, coma, severe agitation, loss of motor control, loss of consciousness, difficulty breathing, altered mental status, and convulsions that in some cases resulted in death. One case report noted the presence of MAB-CHMINACA within the body fluids and tissue samples of a recently deceased individual. A subsequent case report concluded that synergistic toxicity of MAB-CHMINACA and another SC, 5-fluoro-ADB, led to death.  With this in mind, the National Institute for Drug Abuse mentions that manufacturers who create these synthetic cannabinoids try to side step the law by changing the chemical formula of them. How does the DEA plan on staying ahead of the manufacturing of synthetic cannabis?  The DEAs findings ignore the underlying issue revolving the substance which is the subject of the proposed rule. The abuse of the drug in question is not representative of the danger of the drug, as its use is a symptom of the Schedule 1 status of THC. The high potential of abuse that the DEA has found is a symptom of the Schedule 1 status of THC rather than a representation of the true abuse potential. The statistics cited by state public health entities are not compelling because they look at a two month time period in 2015. This is not a long enough time period to demonstrate a reliable factual finding. Further, public perception of THC and marijuana have significantly changed since 2015. As the DEA notes, the majority of the users of the drug at hand use it to circumvent the illegality of THC. As the use of THC is more acceptable now than in 2015, the rates of the use of this drug are likely to have dropped and thus these numbers do not relay the current potential for abuse. While there may be no current accepted medical use in treatment for the drug at hand, there has been a rapid increase in possible medical treatments involving THC. The drug here is so similar to THC that most medical treatments involving one can be substituted with the other. The rise of medicinal THC use demonstrates the possibility of a need for an alternative synthetic option. While there is a lack of accepted safety for the use of this drug under medical supervision, this is again not representative of the danger of the drug. The lack of accepted safe medical applications is a symptom of the fact that medical research of THC has been forbidden by the DEAs placement of THC on Schedule 1. Any possible medically supervised use will not come to light if this drug is similarly labelled Schedule 1. The DEA has incentive to label this drug Schedule 1 in an attempt to secure more funding for the agency in the future by stifling possible accepted medical uses. Ed dept. schools, agencies; should consider banning Backpacks of children in schools. Put all books online, and each student could have electronic pad or computer to access online subject. 1. the teachers would know no one is carrying anything that might harm our children. 2.reduces the high costs of books that a school or child pay.3. back packs are too heavy for most children. I sought out Red Lawhern once I learned he is trying to help Chronic Pain Patients continue our medicine regimen involving opioid products.You are doing us harm by restricting our Doctors from treating us with the most effective methods available. I am a person who is extremely sensitive to most medications. I have terrible side effects that sometimes last months. I would have to write a novel here if I were to accurately describe here all the medicines I have tried and the terrible side effects they produce. Always have been willing to try what the doctor orders, until the side effects caused harm to my body, also the stress it put on my family. I was a very successful insurance agency owner with multiple employees for 25 years. During that time I basically was used a guinea pig for different meds many, many times. One cannot imagine what my business days/family life were like during these trial and error efforts. Finally after about 20 years my doctors and I found a combination of medications that allow me to function, and even participate in life.I had a right hip replacement in 2011, everything went great. I was the model patient, I breezed through physical therapy....then about 7-8 months later things began to go awry. In the end my Rheumtlgst diagnosed me with osteo arthritis, and Fibromyalgia. The Fibro was likely brought on by the trauma to my body of the hip surgery. I went for over a year just sitting because every medication they threw at me caused terrible side effects. It just hurt too much I could not bring myself to do much of any thing. Then my pain mgmt doctor prescribed oxy, small dose of 5-325 4 times a day. The difference this made in my life waslife saving. I had been growing weaker and weaker.....THEN the oxy took enough of the pain away I actually started moving again after many months of just sitting.. Doing housework, some yard work, going out to see friends and relatives etc. I was able to begin aquatic therapy and graduated to using resistance tools in the water which has made me stronger, allows me to participate in life. A God send. I have never abused my meds, I am like the poster child for following the pain med. agreement my doctor had me sign. If ever I had a question about certain meds being prescribed to me by another doctor I always called pain mgmt. and either got permission or didnt to fill the script, and I followed the instructions from the pain mgmt doctor. I recently had a routine 6 mos. appt. with my primary care. I had hurt my neck/shoulder area and he prescribed Soma for a muscle spasm that was very painful and had not gone away with traditional treatments of ice and heat, and Nsaids over a period of 2 weeks. I am not supposed to take Nsaids due to Chronic Kidney disease, but I did because I was in a lot of pain. Mind you....I NEVER increased the amount of oxy prescribed to me during this time or ever. When the nurse handed me the script for Soma she said it was a controlled substance. We dropped it off at our pharmacy but told them to hold up on filling it until I could talk to pain mgmt. Pain mgmt. told me not to fill the script and I did not. I had to wait 5 days to get into see pain mgmt. When the PA walked in the first thing he said was they were discharging me because my urine specimen did not show the presence of oxy. I couldnt believe what I was hearing. I did not believe that to be the reason. In the past the PA had told me my urine sample failed to show the presence of oxy, but he just said it happens sometimes, not to worry about it. Since I take a low dose, and every once in a while I will not take oxy for a day or two that could very well explain the test results. I had a feeling he was upset that I accepted the Soma script even tho I did not fill it. He said he knew I did not fill it, however he told me rather abruptly my primary care doctor should have known better. I showed him the summary of my primary care visit that shows the primary care dr. knows about all the meds I take including pain mgmt. meds. He didnt care. My primary tried calling them twice but no return calls. My primary says he cant take over the script due to the climate on the opioid crisis. So, this is so difficult and depressing that I am back to sitting. This is not healthy, however the pain keeps me down. With meds my pain doesnt go away, however it does decrease it enough that I can tolerate activity. I am not a drug seeker. I worked 2 and 3 jobs in my twenties until I went into insurance, then that was just as hard on me as I was working many many hours to make sure my clients were treated properly. My business credo was Honesty above all else...and still is. I studied TaeKwonDo for 4 years. My husband and I raised our son who is now 27 who is successful in his endeavors and business. I am not a lazy drug seeker! Please stop to consider people like me, there are many. We are harmed by your irresponsible grouping us into the same category as drug addicts. HELP US!
