Someone from Salem, Mass. who lost a brother and a father to overdoses
It's an illness and doctors and big pharma are culpable. The sources of synthetic heroin need to be cut off. Treatment options are too expensive and far too scarce. Selfishness is not the reason why addicts become hooked. Many addicts (and their families) desperately try to help them(selves). That stigma only exacerbates the epidemic. That criminalization of the addict is not a solution. That doctors and big pharma are culpable (my repetition is deliberate).
