My God in Heaven, how stupid!!!
The "Opioid crisis" is multifaceted. That's to say that every one of
the actors that stupid "wy" named IS involved.
But, the "crisis" is that the folks who are dying are from the suburbs
and from the country and mostly White - and are purchasing the drugs
that are killing them NOT from pharmaceutical companies or from doctors.
Just like it's always been (go to Harlem for proof), it's the street
corner drug dealer. The deaths (mostly) come from Heroin.
Street corner drug dealers are selling dope that is killing kids.
What's the problem with "an eye for an eye"?
As has been proven many (too many) times in the past, "wy" hasn't a
clue as to what he's babbling about.
Same as it ever was.

We've already had a recent ("ongoing" actually) example
of such thinking in the Phillipines. This goes WAY beyond
trials and sentencing ... the cops have been authorized to
just shoot anyone they think is a dealer right on the spot.
"Street judges", so to speak.
Drug use down ? Nope. Drug gangs gone ? Nope.
People WILL have their buzz - period. If the situation makes
stealing and killing and corruption necessary, they'll do it.
That's how it is.
Iran has tried something similar .. the ex-prez bragged that
there were no junkies (or homosexuals) in Iran. Giant joke.
"Drug wars" aren't ABOUT drugs actually ... they're about
money and power and excuses to ultramicromanage.
Anyone who wants drugs WILL be able to get them
regardless - and certain pols and cops will pocket their
percentage of THAT as well.
Unfortunately, in countries contaminated by puritanism, do
not expect such "wars" to end. Enough of the gullible public
WILL support them - so long as it's not THEIR favorite
poison anyway - and the leadership itself loves that extra
money and power so IT won't be ending the 'wars' on
its own fer sure. We've seen a FEW states legalize weed,
but only a few. The Feds ain't interested and still threaten
to enforce the federal drug laws.
As for the "opiate crisis" ... remember when it was just
an "opiate annoyance" - a couple ODs a week at yer
local hospital ? Then Obamas drug warriors decided
to fix it ... made it a lot harder to get those nice clean
measured pharmas - and, predictably, everybody just
drove to their friendly corner heroin dealers place
instead of the pharmacy. THEN we had a fuckin'
"crisis" - ten times the ODs. The dealers couldn't
import heroin fast enough, so they started cutting
it with fentanyl ..............
Generally Anti-Drug warriors pick the worst ways to control drugs and increase usage and overdose deaths. Obama was a good President but he had
no idea beyond those fed him by the DEA and Trump is a bad man with no
idea that his actions will increase the profits of the criminal entrepreneurs.
Down with Prohibition! Up with control of doses by legal regulations.

The only people who should get more than one or two days worth of opioid
pain killers are people who are dying.
Step one to a solution is to stop creating new addicts.

Actually if you have not developed an "addictive"
personality you can resist excessive use.

opiate analog produced.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carfentanil>
I wish I could re-find the illustration I lately saw
of three vials one with heroin, another with fentanyl and
finally Carfentanil. The heroin was maybe an eighth of
a teaspoonful, the fentanyl did not cover the bottom of the
vial, but the Carfentanil was only a speck or two on the bottom
of the vial.
All these kill by the same mechanism in overdose by
shutting down the centers of your CNS that control respiration.
In combination with alcohol the deadliness of all are increased
and alcohol kills in acute alcohol poisoning by the same
mechanism.
