@Artoria2e5 @basedintel @tlanderso @CXCarroll You can look back see the same things. Opioids took the blame for it all. It easily could have been any other drug class though. https://t.co/HT6FFzbR86 https://t.co/B9OX4pKGCB

@LossyLubbish Opioid companies were setup. The government found an easy source of money and scapegoating. If they were the problem we wouldn't have an increase in overdose deaths now. https://t.co/HT6FFzbR86 https://t.co/iUaSejThVB
This is useful to know also. People were mixing drugs with opioids and overdosing, which was blamed purely on opioids. Now the drugs come premixed with mystery substances and far more people are overdosing. https://t.co/HT6FFzbR86 https://t.co/SmEnWIJ3l6
