I’m 52 and shocked by the number of high school classmates I’ve lost.
Oh man… I hear that one. I graduated in '82 and on the 40th reunion, I was shocked at the number of my classmates that had died who were fine on our 30th reunion. The 45-65 years seem to be when a lot of the “premature deaths” people fall.
When I was a kid - now we’re going back to the mid-70’s after the Vietnam War ended - there were public service ads on TV to avoid opiates all thr time, though I think it was mostly heroin or morphine.
Gotta thank the billionaire Sackler family for the mid-90’s wave of Oxy addictions that seems to have kicked off the current wave.

I’m twenty years your junior. My cohort has seen/continues to see a lot of opioid deaths.
I do not doubt it.
