SUMMARY: Mary Bono, former Congresswoman and co-founder of Mother’s Against Prescription Drug Abuse, along with Matt Robinson, a voice from “The Painful Truth” campaign, are exploring non-addictive pain relief options for consumers before turning to opioids. This is crucial as over 80 percent of the world’s opioids are consumed, leading to widespread addiction and abuse. The focus is on educating individuals about alternative methods to manage pain effectively without relying on opioids. This initiative aims to reduce the dependency on opioids and address the growing opioid crisis worldwide.

The U.S. makes up 4.4 percent of the world’s population and it consumes over 80 percent of the world’s opioids.
