Over here Dr's are VERY reticent to prescribe opiate pain killer meds. Our perception is its a big problem in the US because your Dr's don't share that reticence (big pharma pressure?).

80% of world's opium comes from Afghanistan. About 6 months after we invaded boots down, America was FLOODED with it, including high schools where it traditionally wasn't huge, at very low prices. Non-US media have thoroughly documented our intelligence agencies complicity in world opium trade. I don't politic much on these boards, but one example of someone with first hand knowledge:

Obviously, Britain and U.S. are peas in a pod foreign policy wise. Over here, it is all WOKE, baby. Pop a pill, blame someone else, no one is responsible for their own actions. Big pharma, corporations, etc., own and rule this country with an iron fist.

That being said, you never want to see someone so young who was generally a class act end like this, and taking pills for brain injury different sport than garden variety addiction (i.e. weakness). . . Life is short, make the most of every second. . .
