[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This scene has been playing out since the 70s in inner cities. There didn't seem to be much concern then. I grew up in LA. Skid row has been in existence for decades pre opioid crisis. Not much has changed.[/quote] It's not the same. I am from NYC and grew up in the 70s and 80s and saw some of this first with heroin (the nodding out on the street corners same as with opioids) and then later with crack, but it is so much more widespread now. It's in the cities, the small towns, the Cape, the Rust Belt, Indian Reservations, EVERYWHERE. And it can largely be laid at the feet of the pharmacy industry. There is no fentanyl crisis without Oxycontin. [/quote]
