All the rage around these parts: Ohio; is the epidemic of overdose deaths. The spike in death really is a problem, but drugs are not really a new problem. In fact, when it comes to the USA, drugs are us.
Think about it.
How many people do you know that are 100% drug and alcohol free? Personally, I can count on one hand those who are not on some kind of prescription mood modifying drug or pain killer, people who do not drink at least 3 drinks more than 5 times a week or more than 5 drinks at least 3 times a week, pot heads, coke heads, pot and coke heads, etc. It seems to me almost everyone in the US has a drug problem.
Why is that? Is life that crappy? I would think the opposite. Life is good. But, the stats seem to suggest that maybe it is too good. After all, why else would everyone want to dope themselves up, or drink away their life?
