I dunno bout this bill 8535, sounds like it's gonna mess things up for us regular folks. They say it's gonna help stop fentanyl trafficking, but I ain't so sure. It's gonna make it harder for me to get my meds, and that ain't right. We gotta find a better way to deal with this problem, this bill ain't it. #HRBill8535 Overall, this bill seems like it's gonna cause more harm than good.
