The Institute of Medicine estimated that by 1900, perhaps 300,000 Americans were addicted to opiates.

"Estimated" is not a real number. It's a number pulled out of your @$$.

No, it's a number cited by the people charged with combating drug addiction. And it puts lie to your claim.

No it doesn't, despite your assertions to the contrary. Your two data point extrapolation with one number made up is childish. That you expect it to be accepted and "prove" something is even more childish.
