Lol yes opiate addictions of all stripes for all time can be tied directly back to that oxycontin commercial from 1999

Did you have a point or are you just a troll?
The whole context was "regulated heroin would be safer", but we've had a whole crisis of overprescribed (but still regulated) opiates that very much disagrees with the notion that regulated heroin is safer.
Reading my comment as "all opioid addiction is only due to regulated drugs (and that one commercial)" is misguided, at best.
Do you even remember what you wrote?
>Also... isn't the whole opioid addiction crisis basically because people were in fact buying regulated ~heroin?
Of course not, this is a ridiculous comment. People have been addicted to opiates for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. Blaming oxycontin is passé

The first wave of the opioid crisis began in the 1990s when the long-acting opioid OxyContin and other high potency opioids were employed for an extremely wide array of patients.

Are you taking "the whole opioid addiction crisis" literally?
As if I meant that every single opioid addiction in history is because of "regulated heroin"?
You think that's a reasonable read?
