The latter, for sure. Not that the former doesn't exist, but yeah. And they're EXTREMELY addictive.

Self-medicating because of the stigma against addressing mental health issues and/or lack of proper health care.

People love hard drugs because life sucks. You have to make life suck less.

But this is America, and in America youre on your own. So do drugs.

The pharmaceutical companies downplaying the addictiveness of them, so that doctors handed them out like candy.

The campaign with pain is a vit that demands treatment, doctors getting scared of losing license or even jail time for it

Doctors not understanding addiction and opioid addiction

Doctors getting bought out or bribed

Big pharma not doing anything besides sitting back and enjoying

West Virginia

Americas odd generic priming for addiction

yea, a lot of it is due to the over prescription of drugs, but it's also because of how the drugs make people feel.

unfortunately, a lot of people get hooked, and once their prescription runs out, they turn to black market pills and/or heroin, and both of those routes often have bad ends.

This is what makes it a crisis tbh

the combination of the only availability for a thing people have wanted to do since the beginning of mankind being shady black market dealers, the criminalization of addiction, and our garbage healthcare system

Doctors subscribing addictive medication to patients and getting them hooked on it.

And it's all intentional too because Big Pharma are the most soulless motherfuckers on the entire planet.

Jesus Christ people still think this crap?

I can assure you the majority of people using drugs regularly arent doing it because its cool.

Theyre self medicating to help themselves get by and trying to escape reality.
