re: The US Overdose Epidemic - Big Deal Or Meh?

Fact. I'd guarantee almost every single person in this thread knows, associates with, or has a family member that is an addict. Probably someone you'd never would think would use.

And for the people saying they can just spot a junkie? Yea, you might pick out a few. But drug addiction doesn't choose people based on wealth, skin color, religion, or anything. It effects every class/race/demographic. There's millionaire banks on Wall Street doing thousands of $ of coke a week that'd you would look at and say he's so rich and lives the perfect life and would never touch a drug.
I've met drs, lawyers, and almost any other profession at all levels inside the rooms. Don't be too quick to judge. People make mistakes and you never know what's going on in that persons life and mind that literally the ONLY thing that makes the feel whole or feel better is a drug they wish they never touched.
