Just more bullshit about the "opioid epidemic," with alarmist headlines, wild innuendos, and flat-out lies.

Yes. There are those who abuse narcotic painkillers.
There are those who abuse alcohol. Caffeine. Tobacco.

This is just more shit from the hysterics pushing their "War On Drugs" to get more federal and state $$$, (remember the guy in Tula, Texas, who lied about so many blacks and got so much federal money?) and continue the hysterics began by the filthy racist Harry "Dem coloreds iz smokin' plants that get dem high!" Anslinger.
