Nonsense.
I don’t know anyone who has been addicted to blood thinners but I know several who have died from heroin OD and they all started started on prescription Opioids.
There is a 60 Min piece (one of the very few good ones) who went to Amsterdam 10 years apart to talk to heroin addicts.
Every one of them from the first show were dead.
Prescription Opioids are pretty much the same formulation.
I lost a niece to OD related to opioid addiction, and know of at least 3 young men (late 20’s, sons of friends), who are currently battling opioid addiction with very limited success.
I expect that, in some demographics, the problem is much more widespread, and not buying that it is a “fake crisis”.
