It also didn't help that doctors wrote prescriptions for opiods for any reason, continued to fill them over and over, got people hooked and then the government came in and said no more opioids!
That left people with no other options than to use illegal street drugs to get that same high.
I was prescribed them for years and while my brain was not addicted, my body was. It was terrible weening off them. I did not do any illegal drugs and the withdrawals I experienced were HORRIBLE! If you go to opioid forums you can see the torment people go through trying to quit. I would not wish that on anyone. I have not had any in almost 4 years and I still experience side effects from withdrawal.
Dopesick on hulu is a fantastic show to watch as well to get the whole picture, strongly recommend anyone to watch it.

The Oxycontin thing happened when the Taliban took out all the poppy fields in Afghanistan. That is what the whole thing was about. Our military had to go in and get the fields up and running again and then they cracked down on Oxy to get everyone back on the heroin. All a job by the C*A. Why we allow this I will never understand.
Yeah, just way too addicting. He was doing like 5 pills a day. These kids don't have the discipline to handle it, and their parents cannot stop it. Should have taken him to a farm in the middle of no where, got him off it, and put him to work on the farm. Would have done a world of good. All these kids listening to Atlanta rap music about drugs and Hos, and they want to be "cool". Its tough to break away from the peer pressure. But a 16 year old rotting in prison isn't a fair solution and it didn't do him a damn bit of good because it enabled him to meet an even worse gang, ugh.
All the best in your struggles and recovery man. I know it's tough but hold on to that strong discipline and find happiness in nature and hard work. That is the best way.
I'm sorry this happened, it's a terrible thing.

Oxy addiction happened in 1990s. Afghanistan under the Taliban was the largest opiate grower in the world during that time except for year.
In the past two decades 2/3 of the Taliban's money came from heroin.
They just did a big crackdown last year.
Also heroin comes from other countries. Burma is the second biggest provider
