Some of us are old enough to have some perspective when assessing fadish claims of pandering politicians & drug war bureaucrats. In the '80s it was the crack epidemic, Len Bias death &c. In the '90s it was meth hysteria, where tough talking police and prosecutors used scare tactics to shore up budgets by acting like every meth lab was the French Connection even if just a hop head cooking in his bath tub. In the '00s ectasy was fashionable to fret about, but it didn't get drug war bureaucrats off like they hoped, so now the new thang is "opioid epidimics." It's a tiresome routine that enriches law enforcement bureaucracies and erodes liberty. -radish
