Culling of the herd.

Survival of the fittest.

Darwinism is working.

I wish I knew what the answer was to this problem. That's completely absurd.

Apparently people need to test their heroin before shooting up.

The increase coincides pretty well with the reformulation of oxycontin, which is all I ever saw back in my "dumber" days. Never even saw Fentanyl.

We have it Bc when prescribed properly it is often a superior drug to other opiates.

don't any of you think there's an underlying reason that all of a sudden tens of thousands of americans are using opiates? You know, some explanatory factors

Americans didn't just start turning to opiate use in masse because they listened to too much heavy metal or because they took God our of our schools, etc.

Doctors handing out opiates when you stub your toe and the kickbacks they receive for doing so has nothing at all to do with this.

This is slowly changing. Unfortunately much of the damage is done.

That's a crutch.

It's very easy to tell your doc you will not accept an opiate prescription from them. Prescribe something else or I'll just take OTC aleve/aspirin.

It's because dipshits walk out of the docs office all giggly with their oxy script saying "lol doc gave me the good shite"
