Forevergiving posted:When I started there were a few somewhat functioning heroin addicts and the big problem was the growth of crystal meth and all the behaviors that come with that. Since the advent in fentanyl we have seen an explosion of opiate addiction that renders people completely non-functional. . His new favorite thing to do was to walk up next to people eating lunch in the dining hall and do deep stretches with his foot on the table. His bits would poke out of the bottom of the kilt while the poor hapless diner would recoil in horror and pretend not to see. I spent many a hilarious lunch hours watching front line staff chase this guy around trying to stop him from stretching. (I have many small stories about the guy) Foregiving, I read your 3 avenues to addiction. I remember in my hometown in western Washington state when meth use and addiction greatly increased in the 1990s. My hometown did not have many high paying jobs and many jobs were repetitive-type jobs that were not mentally stimulating (for me at least) with little opportunity to advance. I wonder if mundane jobs and low wages caused some of this meth addiction? As for the Opiate and Fentanyl epidemic, it seems meth (which still exists) has been replaced by Opiate addiction in my hometown. How culpable are the phamaceutical companies (e.g. Oxycontin) responsible for this, in your opinion?
