The opioid crisis was declared a national public health emergency by President Trump in October of 2017. The Initiative to Stop Opioid Abuse proposes to reduce over-prescribing opioids, restrict the flow of international/domestic drugs into our communities, and provide support for people struggling with addiction through treatment and recovery services.
Kellyanne Conway was announced as the president’s choice to lead the White House’s opioid crisis efforts in November of 2017. Kellyanne Conway, however, has ZERO experience in drug policy or enforcement. It begs the question: How serious is the White House about implementing positive and effective change in the opioid crisis by appointing Kellyanne Conway as the "Drug Czar?"

America's opioid crisis requires effective, professional and responsible policy-making and leadership.
America's dealings in the pharmaceutical, addiction and treatment industry is highly questionable:
