Finally, I want to show the data pertaining to the Presidents through the time frame of 2013 through 2024. This covers three presidencies—Barack Obama (2013-2017), Donald Trump (2017-2021) and Joseph Biden (2021-2024). Let me state at the onset, that I am independent. I swear no allegiance to any political party. I evaluate the person running for office at the time, the needs for the country, and then I make my decision. So please don’t take my evaluation here as a pro or con any individual.

What we see here is:
- The level of reduction is dramatically less, with a total decrease of all opioids being 82% while the two previous administrations were both over 500%, and Trump’s being almost 600%
- Still, with almost 4700 complaints to the DEA, they stick to their standard protocol of reducing the controlled drugs as they propose. My prediction is that they intend to eliminate opioids all together, and I believe this will happen by 2030. I especially believe this will happen if Trump succeeds in running again, and wins, as he has been and is the most anti-opioid of all running for President, even saying drug pushers (which includes your doctor) should be sentenced to die.
Overall, however, it really isn’t the President that runs this process. Agencies run the government unfettered and without being held responsible. Even when Judge Kavenaugh was being questioned by Congress, legislators continuously stated this—that they don’t run the government anymore, the agencies do. So this should not be a factor in deciding the next President because it won’t make a difference. We must…
Linda Cheek is a teacher and disenfranchised medical doctor, turned activist, author, and speaker. A victim of prosecutorial misconduct and outright law-breaking of the government agencies DEA, DHHS, and DOJ, she hopes to be a part of exonerating all doctors illegally attacked through the Controlled Substance Act. She holds the key to success, as she can offset the government propaganda that drugs cause addiction with the truth: The REAL Cause of Drug Abuse.
