doesn’t this mean you approve of Trump’s plan on tackling drug and opioid addiction?
He started executing big pharma CEOs?
Cute you think Trump has a plan.
The US working class has been subjected to opium addiction. The US ruling class is subjecting itself to copium addiction.
China was forced to become addicted. The US did it to itself.
People forget that the US benefitted greatly from forcing opium on China.

After Britain, the country that benefited the most from the China trade—and, therefore, the global traffic in opium—was none other than the United States. And in the United States, unlike in Britain, it is well-established that the beneficiaries included many of the preeminent families, institutions, and individuals in the land.
I will fight you on that.
The US was subjected to opioids the exact same way the Chinese were.
Powerful capitalists fucking throwing it at people to get them addicted.
What’s funny is you can argue that the US forced the US to become addicted to opioids as well.
the US did it to itself 2x: first with tobacco and then with opioids.
I’m sure it has been used at times by uncool people, but dragon flag goes hard
I live in a pretty rural area, I don’t know anyone who’s addicted to any type of opioid
now whenever I visit the biggest city in my state, there’s fentanyl addicts and probably also meth and crack addicts in very alleyway and under every bridge. It’s not safe to be outside at night in that town. you will absolutely get stabbed, shot and/or robbed. It’s never happened to me. But I had to stay hotel there once a few years ago and I heard the drug addicts outside screaming all night.
it felt like a zombie movie

Could have just stopped there 🤷
The whole thing with meth and the like often being overrepresented in rural areas is that there’s fewer people around to notice when you want to keep things secret.
This includes addiction, meth labs, secret pill mills and more.
Sure, cities are more convenient for distribution and the like, but if your main priority is secrecy, the boonies is where it’s at.
When your next door neighbors are a mile away, you’d have the be very nosy to notice much of what they do.

Big rural conservative paranoia energy 🙄
My first time in New York, I accidentally got off the airport bus a couple of stops too early and walked through the infamous Jamaica, Queens neighborhood. In the middle of the night with all my luggage clearly labeling me a tourist.
I didn’t get mugged or stabbed. Other than one guy politely hitting me up for a cigarette and then equally politely taking his leave, I was left alone entirely.
It’s never happened to me.
See, THAT I do believe.
The farmer’s daughter next to me hooks for fent and the one beside her cooks meth.
That’s very much the first line of a joke…
Does she have chronic pain or a debilitating mental illness and unable to afford medical care or is she simply a poor rural drug addict that enjoys living in squalor?
Florida? Or maybe one of the states that borders northern Florida?
No, more north and west.
