Just don't do drugs. It's easy. Kids are out here trying to live out Euphoria and getting wrecked for it? Not my problem. Yeah it's sad when people get prescribed those pills for a good reason and end up addicted but that isn't most of them.

Legitimately prescribed prescriptions are probably a far bigger part of the problem than you think.

Walgreens is being sued for their part in this shit.

Nah that's just for optics. The fact is there's a lot of dumb people who like to get fucked up. Before long they're addicted and crying for handouts or political action.

you realize that the opioid epidemic started because of doctors being pushed to prescribe pain meds which lead to addictions?

When they started cutting those off people turned to street drugs. Its literally why manufacturers are being sued heavily.

a lot of people use oxy for some pain they're feeling, and after they don't have anymore, they move on to something else due to addiction and it often ruins lives.

and this is just for people who are prescribed the drugs, not looking to get into anything other than pain relief.

Opioids are seen as having a big impact on rural people, which in American media means the issue deserves care and sympathy. But they don't treat other drugs and addictions the same way.

I got addicted after a motorcycle accident. Finally quit everything after 12 years. That also includes the medicine they give you to help get you off of pain killers, which is just an additional crutch. I was tired of it. If Suboxone helps people in their day to day recovery, that's a plus. To me it became another leash tethering me to a system I don't care to be involved in.

I am university educated and employed in my field of study and a high functioning addict. Evidently you're wrong!

Codeine used to be available OTC here until 2018 and I was using that to manage my withdrawals. Back on illegal oxycodone now.

Fantastique!

It's not. I've been around pharmacy shit for years and Walgreens policy of 'good faith dispensing ' basically made pharmacists unable to not fill even when they should have refused.

Company cared more about getting their numbers and not getting customer complaints.

These people don't start out on opioids "from the street." Their addiction starts in the doctor's office.

Also nice job with judging people with addiction issues. Real good of you to shit on people with a disease. Glad you're such an awesome guy.

TC does have a sort of point.

when stuff like crack or cocaine was the big thing, it was hitting minority and poor hoods, and therefore the social attitude was fuck these criminals, throw the book at them.

now that the big thing is opioids and its suburban white kids who are doing them now the consumers are considered victims and they dont go to jail for consuming.

its such hypocrisy

What a stupid fucking topic. Do some research.

Most opioid addiction problems started with legitimate prescriptions for pain management after injuries.

Even if you may have a point based on demographics doesn't mean the opioid problem isn't terrible.

Crack being terrible and not getting the public sympathy it deserved doesn't mean we should just brush off people's suffering with opioids

post 20 has nothing to do with the OP, and it ignores those who have sympathy for people who fell victim to more illicit drugs.

Which didn't happen before the moral panic and "crackdown", when it was possible for a doctor to prescribe buckets of pills, and also to doctor-shop for the ones prescribing a bucket of pills.
