Thank you OP for the heads up on this Netflix documentary. I have vast experience with opiates and I have a family member that was a pharmacist in Vermilion Parrish Abbeville, LA. He said the explosion of pill mills started in south Louisiana. I don’t want to make this a racial topic but in my experience it was black Americans that always had the prescriptions of opiates and they would sell them to us white junkies as extra income. The white people would keep their pills and abuse them. That is mostly why the epidemic hit white america the hardest. Black MD’s would write their patients a crap load of opiate scripts it seems though knowing their patients needed that extra income imho. In Alabama and around the Baltimore area is where my extensive experience comes from.

Sell for extra income opposed to? Why does anyone sell drugs? Why did Purdue Pharma not only sell Oxycotin but tell everyone there was a 1% chance that someone could get addicted to it?
But I don't know why you brought race into this because... There were several ways people were getting pills and it was white people who would get people to go to as many doctors as possible from here to Houston. They would pay people's fee to get a prescription, they go get it filled, give that person some pills from the prescription then sell them.
But this epidemic has hit the suburbs and it all started with doctors prescribing too much pain meds for people. Someone goes in for some type of procedure, the doctor would prescribe them a month worth of pain meds.
Race has nothing to do with this.

FL was king of the pill mills. In 2010 90 of the nation’s top 100 opioid prescribers were Florida doctors, according to federal officials, and 85 percent of the nation’s oxycodone was prescribed in the state. That year alone, about 500 million pills were sold in Florida.
