| Aug 7, 2018 at 17:00 | comment | added | jamesqf | @Fizz: So what in that link proves the existence of an "epidemic", rather than the legitimate use of opioids to treat chronic pain? Which could arise either from an increase in chronic pain, or the view that opiates are a preferred treatment for pain (or both, of course). You only have to read as far as the 3rd paragraph to learn that the "epidemic" term is something originated by the DEA, which has an obvious vested interest in increasing & extending its (IMHO) abusive law enforcement activities. | |

| Aug 7, 2018 at 4:17 | comment | added | jamesqf | @Fizz: I think you'd need to first ask whether there is in fact an opiod "epidemic", or whether it's a combination of lots of people with chronic pain (due to lifestyle choices &c), and the desire of certain elements of the law enforcement community to create a new scapegoat. After all, don't we see something similar popping up every few years? | |

Retitled to be less of a leading question.

| Aug 6, 2018 at 14:57 | comment | added | Cannabijoy | @Fizz I don’t need a study, but I asked for one just in case. I can remove that part if it bothers you, but it’s nice to have sources. | |

| Aug 6, 2018 at 12:51 | comment | added | 264 champagne bottles on ice | It sounds like one of those questions (that unfortunately I see to often on this SE site) asking for cherry-picking data/study to justify an uncommon point of view. A less loaded question would be: what are the main factors drove the recent opioid epidemic? | |
