It breaks my heart to watch my people suffer and die from the opioid epidemic in this country. Is there anything we can do to help our people here? Maybe we could weaponize our autism to find the people selling poison on social media.

I've said this before and I'll say it again
weed is degenerate but data from Colorado, legalization reversed a 14-year trend of rising opioid deaths

>find the people selling
You don't need to do that. It's the doctors who either (un/)intentionally prescribes these opioids on a mass scale that is inappropriate on several cases, then it is passed down from them to the drug fiends that sell the narcotics on the street. Oftentimes during prescription periods, recipients can become addicted, so they turn to illegally obtaining opioids. I know because I had a close family member who went through drastic withdrawal.

This is enough of a possible sign that the problem is behest to doctors. We don't need to crack down on any druglord, but regulate the pharmaceutical industry

That could work. There might be a decent amount of Republicans and others if you're up for it.

The legalization of marijuana would be the best help of all, and potentially the only option.

Not meming. We should burn the opium fields in places like Afghanistan. Their whole shithole economy is growing this shit to send to US via CIA niggers.
>1 in 4 pregnant mothers in Huntington WV are addicted to heroin.
If any statistic pissed me off so much this would be one. It might be a poor state but still we held our own before this shit.

>Purdue Pharma will stop promoting opioids to physicians
>“We have restructured and significantly reduced our commercial operation and will no longer be promoting opioids to prescribers,” the company said in a statement emailed to Reuters.
>Is due to a wave of lawsuits against drug manufacturers accusing them of pushing addictive painkillers through deceptive marketing
Good step.
