Meth is more of a problem IMO.
Meth is more of a problem in rural areas. I don't think it's a bigger problem than opioids because there are people who became or have become addicted to opioids because they were prescribed pain meds after an injury or surgery, who would not have been involved in drugs otherwise.
I think meth has been pretty steady. It's not a drug that is attracting more and more people. There is a certain type that uses meth

I didn't even know people did heroin anymore until you start finding out friends were addicted to oxy.

This is the big issue. Well to do mom, good job, has everything. Gets meds, slowly goes down hill. Job loss, divorce, kids seeing their mom go off the deepend. All over pain pills.

Heroin use started going up around the mid 2000s, maybe earlier. People were put on pain meds, they would eat a month worth of prescription in a week. They could either by pills on the street for $60 a pill or get heroin much cheaper.

Because one was done by personal choice, one was distributed to them by a professional.

Doctors prescribe pain pills, which is pretty similar to heroin. They prescribe more than people need. And your average person. If the doctor prescribes them a certain amount they are not going to question the doctor.
If someone has surgery and they are prescribed a month supply of pain meds, that's enough to get addicted.
It was decided in the mid 90s that doctors would make patient comfort their main priority. If someone had any type of pain, they would keep them comfortable.
They were risky people becoming addicted just so they would not have to deal with temporary discomfort that should be expected after surgery or a major injury.
I can understand giving them something strong the first few days, but not a month supply then refilling after they run out the first month, etc

More and more people were smoking weed, they were cracking down on mdma and all of a sudden, heroin became popular again. It was out of nowhere.
I took oxy once, made me throw up everywhere. But I had friends dying, others dropping out of LSU, going to rehab. It was all over the opioid craze that hit.
Had no idea people were getting to the point of shooting up.

Not everything is about race. You sound like a little baby. You're jealous of heroin addicts now because they might have been treated better than crack addicts from the 80's? It has more to do with what we know about addiction now verses what we knew in the 80's, not race.

You have no clue how any of it works. The streets, the system, any of it.
