    • Where the fun issausages
    • No means to argue here, but is a number of people dying from opioid abuse since 1999 an epidemic? Sounds more like a shitty government’s effort to change itmaquito
    • Epidemic: “a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time”.maquito
    • Sorry, but I think that a shitloaf of drugs funded and not taken care of by any means by social services shouldn’t be referred to as “disease”maquito
    • 100% agree, here the addiction is the disease which does not necessarily develop under conditions such as most ppl expect.
      opioid epidemic is a great example
      ********
    • where people who have had no past experiences with addiction come into contact with highly addictive drugs.
