The main reason is because the Mob and squishy RINOs are keeping the opioid superhighway from Mexico wide open.
Time to pull out of AG, nuke it flat and guard our OWN borders!
Certainly a true statement, but I submit that the most recent rash of overdoses has been because our WTO trading partners, you know, the Communist Chinese are intentionally (perhaps state sponsored) flooding our society with cheap, very potent Fentanyl.
Mexican heroin has flooded across our Southern border for decades. Most addicts get a feel for the dosage they are able to tolerate. With Fentanyl...they do not, thus sending them into overdose.
It is really that simple. Now the all knowing, all seeing, all powerful gubbamint declares a national emergency opiod crisis, then cut availability to folks like my F-n-law and dad who suffer from chronic pain.
Sad, predictable knee jerk government reaction.
That’s correct. The Cartels are deep into American politics. Those politicians that advocate against a border wall are being supported by the the drug cartels.
With 300 million people, who needs another addict.
Nope. It’s because doctors are grossly over prescribing opioids. Most of the ODs are on legally acquired drugs.
The only reason is that the deceased chose poorly.
