>>15022884It's not as simple as "people looking to get high". Pharmaceutical companies pushed Oxycontin on purpose, lied about the side effects and bribed doctors to overprescribe it. Most people trust their doctors so they took the opioids as prescribed, and when the prescriptions ran out they found themselves hooked to opioids. This is where the fentanyl problem comes from: an opioid habit is really, REALLY hard to kick so people started using street drugs and dying in droves. The best part is, the family responsible for the deaths of 150 times as many Americans as 9/11 aren't even sorry for it.
