Because the people who were the working class got told, over the last 30s years, that their culture was wrong. Men especially got told to just be another widget. Honor, duty, loyalty? They got told those didn't matter. The George Wills, and Kevin Williamsons told them to go code.
Meth destroyed the Midwest and rust belt, Now it’s opioids. The issue isn’t drugs, it’s spiritual bankruptcy and loss of purpose. Read this about meth, and story is the same today with opioids.https://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/05/books/review/Kirn-t.html …

Pain demands a response... Pain is metabolically complex. Social anomie & isolation augments physical pain via the same (alpha & c-nerve/dorsal horn) pathways. Working class jobs ruin people’s bodies quickly. Loss of those jobs ruin them slowly.http://SanctionTheBook.com

I dunno. Doctors didn't feed people meth and get them hooked. Opioids a much bigger deal and developed method to madness.

I agree. Spiritual bankruptcy is real, and is a problem. What's your suggestion to solve it? Islam? Because there's no spiritual health that's ill in all the kingdoms of Allah, is there?

It’s also what happens when you decimate an industry with horrible trade deals. Those left behind are hurt further.
