“You are an evil person and tyranny is in your blood. You are the enemy - go away.”

No tyranny with me, instead just the opposite.

In the 1980’s-1990’s people in underclass urban areas had the freedom to become crack junkies and over the last 20 years, crack use has decreased in those communities.

They did something right.

Today, people in other economic and geographic areas are seeing opioid addiction increase in their communities.

There must be something they can do right to fight the opioid epidemic.

Having exactly zero experience with opioids or cocaine, it is my understanding that the addictive properties of the two classes of drug are very different, and that the addictive properties of opioids make them much more difficult to quit.

I could be wrong on that, but this is my understanding.
