as long as the Perdues of the world are allowed to keep milling out opiods that never had any business being perscribed so freely in the first place, you are going to have an opiod problem. This may shock you, but it turns out...opiods are (checks notes) easily accessible and highly addictive.
I do like your idea of pretending there isn't a drug crisis in this country, and just chalk it up to a bunch of low lives who just want to get high and don't otherwise contribute to society, so for the few that are addicts, eff em, this is a moral failing so let 'em OD until they die from it, maybe they should have thought about that before getting high and not having a job or paying taxes. serves them right.
I wish we could stop these woke libs who keep acknowledging the fact that there are people in this country that have a problem with addiction. Literally not one single person has O.D'd using drugs at one of these supervised centers, which unfortunately just means now these drugs addicts stay alive even longer to continue to plague our country. The more of them that duck behind a dumpster to shoot up god knows what with a dirty needle...the faster they die and badda bing, problem solved. Why do these woke libs keep trying to drag this thing out??
