Love you Prof. Pinker. This article goes from one data point to another, one study to another, with no consistency. It is classic obfuscation.

She also goes to great pains to point out that most people who get an opioid prescription do not become addicts. Completely analogous to the NRA argument that most people who buy guns don’t massacre children at schools. I sense drug manufacturer funding behind this article.

This article is the equivalent of an NRA article on why guns don’t kill. The author’s main point is that people who OD don’t do it on legally obtained drugs. Of course they don’t. By the time they OD they are past the ailment that allowed prescriptions and must obtain illegally.

I don’t know, I cut my finger pretty bad about a year back. First thing the Dr did was Rx me Narcos (160 day supply)

I'm confused. Most of the data in the article seems to indicate over prescription of pain killers as the problem.

The author is "a practicing psychiatrist at a methadone clinic and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute." No wonder the stats are so misleading

Article is contradicting itself by the end. It also fails to mention difference between addiction and clinical dependence, no actual commentary from real prescribing pain management specialist. And huge data sets can be interpreted many ways.

This is an excellent article that follows the best research results and makes sense of what they mean. It seems to have upset some who have opinions that are impervious to evidence but we need facts to work on solving this.

Not sure this is the mythbuster promised in the title. By article's own stats, opioid prescription was major factor driving epidemic in the 00's, but street drugs are taking over now that there has been a crackdown on over-prescription.

So what the article is saying is that government meddling in the doctor/patient relationship is actually making things worse for everyone. Why am I not surprised?

The author leaves out the most germane detail: that most people start out with prescription pain killers and then "graduate" to harder stuff.
