I don’t hear democrats crying and protesting about this.
The rats have allowed drug gangs to conduct business freely and kill the youth of this nation. All it takes is one stupid time and your done! Trump cleaning up the gangs and drugs is a start, jobs and seeing a future is another. A long hard road
Gun fatalities are certainly not under-reported. Heroine fatalities almost certainly are. The problem is worse than stated.
I saw this coming forty years ago, as attitudes and morals crumbled with my generation coming of age. Clinton, Obama, and Rather are both symptoms and cause. The boomers have totally screwed up this country and left an irreparable mess for coming generations.
We should make them illegal!
Saw a good documentary on Fentanyl on Netflix. What a mess.
These are the ‘homeless’ people you see at your local train station.

The article blames over-prescribing of pain meds in the 90’s and 2000’s as the cause of the problem. What else happened in this time frame? NAFTA and an increasingly porous southern border. This allows massive quantities of heroin to get into the country (its not being produced domestically). I remember reading stories about heroin starting to become cheap and readily available during the 90’s. Right around the time the border started weakening. If the heroin wasn’t so prevalent, the OD deaths would not be happening anywhere near as often. But the PC types can’t make this connection (open border = heroin deaths) because that would be ‘Racist’. It’s easier to blame it on the doctor (easily stereotyped as an old, rich white guy) pushing pills on his unsuspecting patient.

Remember pseudo-ephedrine? Screw the nannies.
I can’t say I would believe these numbers to be accurate, like the 1 in six children are starving. I do not believe as I know more than 6 children, none of them are starving...
You have to thin the herd some how....
I know this is a problem but I know an 80 year old who basically bedridden who has horrible constant pain. Opioids take away a little bit of the pain. There is nothing else that does anything. They keep cutting down on the dose and making it harder and harder for her to get some relief. When she asks for more help they just shrug their shoulders and say their hands are tied with the new regulations.
Nothing more than the herd thinning itself. /s
Uh huh but pale in comparison to deaths by abortion, alcohol and tabbaco
Sorry, I know that there are people out there with addictive personalities, and they abuse opioids and some die, but come on, those people will always find a drug or beverage to abuse and some will die, always.
There are too many people that need the use of pain meds to just get through the day and do manage to use them without abuse or addiction.
Humans throughout time have found or invented ways to get stoned and there have been and always will be those that abuse them.
They really need to ban opoids/s
But I knew.
With the placebo I felt no different.
With the Valium I felt sleepy.
With the morphine I started to york my guts out.
I can't understand being a morphine addict.A food addict I can understand.But not morphine.
