Gotta love the national call for help with this epidemic of over dosing rednecks on meth and herion.....when crack wiped out an entire generation of young black people, nobody blinked in the 90's....now that white people are hooked...its now a national tragedy...and they're calling it suicide...white people are dying of overdoses and they're calling it suicide and mental illness....LOLOLOLOLO
The exact thought I had when I first heard about this opioid epidemic. All of a sudden drug overdoses are national news? I think the fact that the drug dealers in this case are the big pharmaceutical companies has a lot to do with this. Notice also NOBODY is saying these companies hold any blame at all. All the talk is about spending money on recovery and punishing doctors for prescriptions.
We have the legal drug companies pushing opium, or heroine in essence, and there is zero talk of punishing them or stopping their manufacture of opiates.
But doctors must be punished and Congress MUST spend money in various Congressional districts for people that are addicted to opiate pain killers. Is the crisis real? Yes. But drug companies that are drug dealers are above the law. And no doubt the black community has to be thinking wtf? Where was all this 'recovery' money the last 25 years?
