While Madison is discussing how to solve the opioid epidemic in Wisconsin…from both prescription and illegal forms of the drug…watching TV in a Chicago hotel Sunday night…I was bombarded with ads for drugs to solve Opioid Induced Constipation.

If this isn’t another indication that we need a coherent policy on drugs and drug abuse, I don’t know what is.
