"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!"
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.

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
