it was black Americans that always had the prescriptions of opiates and they would sell them to us white junkies as extra income

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.
