[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was driving home yesterday listening to our local news radio, on came a segment about county officials in Loudoun trying to figure out ways to deal with the opioid epidemic. I don't see how it could be that bad. I'm there often and nothing seems amiss, as in general environment. It's not rural or inner city.[/quote]

I'd Google news articles about opioid abuse in general to learn more, OP. One of the reasons  it is getting coverage is because it is happening everywhere--thinking that only "rural or inner city" areas have the problem is way behind the times. This is an abuse problem in suburbs, among professionals, affluent people, people living paycheck to paycheck, anywhere. If you think this issue is just in poor areas or among people in the sticks or in the stereotypical urban environment you picture, you've missed the point of all the coverage. I think you're picturing the '80s and crack in big cities. The current opioid problem doesn't look like that. [/quote]
