nah, I have a cousin who lost custody of both her children after she nearly killed them while drunk and on opioids. Then went to rehab to defeat her addiction and lives in a halfway house now
She’s trash.
And never welcome on my doorstep much less in my house. Will never get a cent from me. And she may as well be dead or have been picked up by Duzz’ EMS to me and mine.

Good question. The answer is yes it’s real.
Oh I meant you’re an idiot for asking that.

You’re obviously too young to comprehend that Big Pharma is behind most of these addictions.

Why not put the Taliban out of business and grow the poppies here in the US? We know where it all ends up anyway. American First!

A statement like this is just daring karma to give you a junkie kid.

This is a binary world 'round these parts, baw. You can take your high-falutin' ability to see nuance somewheres else.

I do have compassion, just not for druggies.I mean the poor, they might not be able to help their situation. So I don't care too much about HUD programs or Welfare programs. However druggies,those that OD in particular, willingly use. They willingy knew that it can kill them and frick them up and thus they use it anyway.
NO ONE went up to them and held them down to stick them with drugs so they get addicted. Well I would say maybe 99% do that maybe 1% does not and it might have been a kidnapping or what not.
However, druggies are not like poor people, they are not like SICK people. They were perfectly healthy people who fricked themselves over for no good reason at all.
You’re a dumbass. This issue isn’t confined to scumbag criminals and junkies. The really tragic thing about this particular problem is that a large percentage of the addicted were perfectly normal folks who were over-subscribed highly addictive pain meds, became addicted, and went on a downward spiral as a result. Try to be somewhat informed before posting such idiotic crap.

They are SICK people. Addiction is an acquired impulse control disorder, and yes in many cases it was their fault for trying the substance. But in the case of opiates, usually the addiction stems from the fact that is over prescribed, easy to use, physically addictive, and recovery triggers a cascade of signals that makes your body think it is in pain without it.
And with the amount of actual painful, chronic disorders that it is good for; you will get a people who wind up in an accidental med trap.

Is cancer real? Why not just let them die? Why waste all those resources on treatment?
I had a chat with a guy in his 70s yesterday and he told me he has been taking care of his wife for 12 years. She now has full time care at home because he can't do it on his own anymore.
I asked if it was Alzheimers or something.
He said no, she hurt her back 20 years ago or so and the doctors had her on Oxy and fentanyl and other stuff over the years. He said it basically fried her brain. She hasn't been able to dress or bathe or feed herself in years.
It was pretty heartbreaking to hear him tell the story. His eyes were misty as he recounted their life before the opioids and where he finds himself today.
Not everyone suffering from the opioid "epidemic" is a junky on the street.

I had a buddy who threw out his back at work and was put on pain killers. Obviously became addicted and died of a heart attack as a result.
A lady down the road from us got into a car wreck a few years back. She was a pretty big woman back in the day. See her now, strung out on pain pills, and she might weigh 80lbs. She looks like walking death.
Too bad these folks made the choice to control their pain using medications prescribed by their trusted physicians. What pieces of shite, amiright?

I lost someone to this. So I can speak with some authority here. It IS a disease. Those that have it ultimately are responsible for their situation, those that got hooked from recreational use.
There's another side to it too. Those that, through no fault of their own, used it to control pain and somehow let it get away from them. It happens. There are others who are using it long term for chronic conditions. The epidemic IS real and we are losing too many people to it.

So if you have a child who becomes an addict, you want them to just die?

Let my family member just die? Never. I wouldn't and neither would you if you're worth a damn. You sound like it.
