    Overdose deaths have fallen for six months. Is it temporary or a sign of a corner turned? https://www.statnews.com/2018/10/23/overdose-deaths-fall-for-six-months/ … via @statnews

        Well said. TV clearly shows orange man is bad. 97% of evening comedy men agree orange man is fascist.

        Perhaps they can now see a possible future for themselves other than as a despised minority in their own homeland?

        Use, get clean, relapse, overdose. In that order. Maybe everyone is continuing to use?

        If most of the druggies die-off (OD) there will be NO druggies left to die-off and become a stat. You do NOT know that? You should work at Walmart.
