In terms of political and moral principles, it’s very hard to generate a lot of public interest in addressing an “epidemic” that is largely based in self-destructive behavior.

Not sure if you read the article or not. However, one story in it talks of an officer who OD'd by handling the drug. It doesn't state it in the story, but the drug they are talking about is called carfentanil. This fentanyl is so powerful that just touching it you get it absorbed through your skin. That is why all police officers are now doing searches with latex gloves on. It is affecting far more lives than just the ones that overdose.
