    I’m twenty years your junior. My cohort has seen/continues to see a lot of opioid deaths.

      I do not doubt it.

      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.
