Typical result when the focus is prohibition rather than treatment and education. Those numbers don’t include the thousands killed in violence related to the failed drug war.
Try to wrap your mind around the scope of America's opioid crisis: more Americans died from overdoses last year than were killed in the entire 20-year Vietnam war.

Idk why you’re tweeting at me like I’m a trump supporter. You’re barking up the wrong tree if you are. I don’t even follow you.

To be honest, I wasn't trying to reply to you. Just the guy who tweeted it out. So I'm sorry.

Overdoses of what? We with

"The opioid crisis" is a "denial of drug-rights" crisis. 100% of those fatalities were caused by drug prohibition. (Where would we be if the DEA and FDA hadn't crippled medicine and property rights for 104 years?!)

And disabled legitimate users with chronic pain from a damaged body, that have been on pain meds for 30+ years whose lives were already difficult enough are now being treated like criminals when they go to the pharmacy every month. For certain types of pain it’s all that works!
