We could talk about a study done where a scientist put a bunch of rats in a communal cage with everything they could need or want. He also gave them free access to heroin. Totally free!! Any time they wanted. Not one became addicted. What does this say about our society?

Maybe the problem isn't the fucking opiates, or cocaine, or heroine. Maybe the problem is that we punish people so much through poverty, social isolation, coercion, and in general just being assholes that all they have to feel any reinforcement are the fucking drugs.

And in addition to the correlation between high drug use and high rates of poverty, there is an increase in other drug use that no one is talking about because of the opiate crisis. Great reporting there,

This should not be a surprise. We've seen study after study after study showing correlations between high drug use and high rates of poverty. Guess what, real poverty rates (not the federal poverty line that is artificially low) are on the rise.
