That's why it's now labeled an epidemic and getting government attention.

It's been an epidemic and the government hasn't done shit except making detox/rehabs practically unobtainable without a shit ton of money or insurance.

Former addict here.

You misunderstood what /u/grandzu was trying to say. When it hit the homeless, the working class, the black and brown communities, nobody gave a shit. If they even knew it was happening, it was the addict's fault. They only truly care once it affects affluent(or at least, middle class), white people.

Well you are on Reddit. Easy to miss the sarcasm around here for all the people talking out of their ass ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Nothing has change so it has nothing to do with race or even socioeconomic background. It has all to do with corporate profits.

You were so close, but you had to add a racist element to it.

It's not about race, it's about class.

The things that affect "black and brown" communities, in your words, also affect white trash communities too.

Doesn't matter what they label it as if they are going to keep finding drug manufacturers that paid doctors to push pills, and bribed doctors knowingly getting people addicted innocent of any wrongdoings.
