On another site, some NPC actually said that the Opioid Epidemic was only an issue in pro-Trump areas. "You don't see addicts in liberal-run cities like Seattle or San Francisco." he said. No, seriously: he really said that. In either one of those places, you could walk around some neighborhoods with a grocery sack and fill it with discarded needles easily within an hour or so. Both of those cities' leaderships too are in complete denial about the problem.

Opioid addiction often slides right over into heroin addiction, sometimes meth too. So we have the synergy of drug interactions going on which can make them much more fatal. <br /><br />It's also an invisible epidemic, as in a lot of people don't or won't see it. In my community there is a lot of denial, so an active using addict just suffers from "mental health issues" or "homelessness." We had a couple of near over doses here, cops trying to revive a couple of young people in a car in the parking lot, and what really bugged me was how normal this is, how invisible. Not one customer, the clerks, people I know, were willing to admit the cause of the potential tragedy, which was a toxic cocktail of oxycotin, meth, and heroin. Cops and paramedics understand though, they see it everyday and aren't sheltered from it, like much of the general public is. <br /><br />Some addicts look good on the outside, so at least for a while they are able to maintain and function. I've been surprised by some elderly women and some young active boys who were into sports and also suffering from major addiction. It can really be a hidden problem, at least for a while.insanitybytes22https://www.blogger.com/profile/15704422075852176824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677268555273537920.post-88486627026887158972018-12-03T21:37:57.321-08:002018-12-03T21:37:57.321-08:00Melania is a REAL role model for girls and women. ...Melania is a REAL role model for girls and women.

Well, it's a serious crime to make false rape accusations too, but it doesn't get enforced. The difference is in rape statistics, it's a matter of 'he said/she said' and lawyers and Feminists arguing over 'what defines consent', etc. In contrast, when the EMT brings a carcass into the morgue and the ME finds enough Fentanyl in his blood to kill a cape buffalo, there's not much room for dispute. Actually, the Opioid stats were being fudged a lot by Obama. Obama was forced to admit there was a problem, but he and his media friends were downplaying how bad it really was. It's a problem that Trump inherited moreso than capitalizing politically on it.

Bear in mind, the number of opioid addicts is a tiny fraction of the population; but they're costing society a significant amount of problems in proportion to their numbers.

But just like homicides, these rates vary widely across the country. Some communities haven't had a homicide in decades; in others one murder a day is a slow day for the police. It's the same with the Opioid deaths. Some places have over dozen OD's per week, others have none. But you're right about Big Pharma. We should do what China did last year and ban pharmaceutical opioid prescriptions altogether. Trump was considering a ban a few months ago but so far hasn't made a decision.
