I understand your pov, consider I'm European, we didn't had the opioids wave. In Europe heroin unfortunately became more popular in the last decade but the problem is far away from the Us one.
I've seen, listened and read a lot about the Us crisis and it's absolutely nasty. Maybe I should have thought about that before I dropped my post, but you know, we lives in our bubbles.
A big hug to you mate.
Appreciate it but no apologies necessary. You shared a story, I shared a story. Better done over a beer or coffee, but for now Lemmy can do. Absolutely don’t feel bad about your comment, I just wanted to spread a little awareness of the opioid epidemic in the US and how it was mostly caused by profit-seeking corporations. Cheers from across the pond and wishing you the best
Edit: forgot, totally reciprocating that hug!
