https://capitolfax.com/2017/03/20/opiod-overdose-deaths-are-skyrocketing/quote:We are running out of ways to emphasize how dire the opioid overdose crisis has become. In 2015, United States drug overdose deaths exceeded 50,000; 30,000 involved opioids. There were more deaths from opioid overdose than not only from motor vehicle accidents, but also than from HIV/AIDS at the peak of the epidemic in 1995 Yes, easy access to opioids in the first place is a problem, but that's NOT why the people are dying. They're dying because they can't get clean opioids after their supply of pills runs out. My brother recently went to a free rehab program for alcoholism. He left there after two days because so many fellow patients kept offering him heroin.

weird, I'll take a hydro or oxy if im in pain or once in a blue moon it might be relaxing but i just dont get the appeal. taking more than even a regular real dose seems uncomfortable and not pleasurable to me at all. I get like every other drug but not that one. I mean id understand if it was heroin probably but just regular rear end pills??

Least I can I do is scare him everyday about so many people dying of heroin. He told me the horrible story of some 19 year old girl shooting up heroin at a party he was at and I'm like this girl is going to be dead next week.

Pharmaceutical companies have a vested interest in making sure there's an opioid epidemic. Those same companies hand out tons of money to politicians, so this poo poo will never get fixed.

Marijuana is not the ultra safe cool drug every stoner ever tells you it is, but it's still insane that it's illegal most places. States that have legalized marijuana use see substantial drops in opioid addiction levels and OD deaths.Jose Oquendo posted:Pharmaceutical companies have a vested interest in making sure there's an opioid epidemic.

Hardcore drugs like weed are way worse imo. Just the other day a neighbor down the road lost a son because he shot up weed. Found him in his bedroom with a needle in his arm and a Peter Tosh album skipping on the record needle

http://www.businessinsider.com/how-west-virginia-became-the-epicenter-of-the-opioid-epidemic-2016-12 Some interesting WV factoids: Between 2011 and 2013, West Virginia suffered from a rate of 33.5 drug overdoses per 100,000 people, compared to a national average of 13.4 deaths Kermit WV, population 392, received shipments of nearly nine million highly addictive and potentially lethal hydrocodone pills to a single pharmacy over a two-year period. "Wyoming County, where shipments of OxyContin have doubled in recent years, the county’s overdose death rate leads the nation, with 54.6 per 100,000. “One mom-and-pop pharmacy in Oceana received 600 times as many oxycodone pills as the Rite Aid drugstore just eight blocks away,” according to the newspaper’s report." Major drug wholesalers flooded the state with 780 million hydrocodone and oxycodone pills. WV has a population of about 2 million. This will never get fixed. WV Senator Joe Manchin's daughter is the CEO of Mylan Pharmaceuticals, one of the biggest generic drug manufacturers in the world.

People who have good character don't get pleasure from opioids except for the pain relief the people who get addicted to legitimately prescribed pills have bad character

I can't drive anywhere without seeing 3 cops sitting running radar. If I go 2 blocks west I get offered prescription drugs by random dudes at the gas station when I pull up to the pump. Shows where the priorities really are.

I had to hit this girl with some narcan once cause she was obv dying and my reward was her punching me in the face. I had an EMT tell me once this is relatively common with hitting a dying opiate addict with narcan they tend to come out of it super pissed that you just saved their life.
