IMHO, that is something that government should be involved with as society has determined that government has a place in societal security.
Which begs an interesting point I hadn't considered yet... are the deaths and 'epidemic' due to illegal opioid use or prescription? Has that been broken down?
Sometimes PARF makes me think. Most of the time it makes me hold my nose :-).

Tadd...it's both imo but have no idea of the ratio....pharma verses heroin use here. The experts agree on this however....most of the heroin addicts got addicted to prescription pain meds initially....
I live in a relatively small city of 100k...there were 300 overdoses and 17 deaths by OD last year....heroin has flooded the streets to fill the demand also....it sucks. There is no way to stereotype the users....it's permeated every aspect of our society....
