Apparently dispossessed middle-age men turn to opioids because society has removed their sense of worth.
Regulating opioids is not addressing the root problem and thus will not fix it. The dispossessed will turn to some $1 street drug like Flakka or who knows what to address the insanity they feel due to society being turned upside down by socialism.
Putting bandaids on skin cancer is futile. You must go to the root of the problem, which is cultural decadence.
