the weirdest shit about white people is the drugs they take. Brazil is no heaven, but a crisis of young people using synthetic painkillers is simply not one of the problems down here.

I don't think it's just a matter of availability. it's sold here, and although it's supposed to be harder to get it, it's not like it would be hard to get around controls if there was demand.
There was once little demand here. All it took was a little encouragement for doctors to subscribe the hell out of it. Very few of the people I know that are hooked would have considered it a possibility that they could become addicts.

only people that get it prescribed at least once consume it? it's not what it looks like from the outside, and it wouldn't explain a whole subculture around the use of these drugs.

but yeah, it could be that all it takes is for out doctors to become less iffy about prescribing those drugs (but even the existence of some resistance sounds weird)

and, to be sure, I'm not claiming Brazilians don't like to get fucked up (there's a huge problem with crack cocaine, not to talk about alcohol). I just think we feel and deal with pain differently.
