Yeah, there’s an opiate crisis in my neck of the woods as well…all of northern New England is apparently awash in opiates whether prescription or street product.
I remember when Oxycontin was becoming popular and people I knew were snorting the stuff, I for whatever reason had no interest in it. Now I think they are upwards of $80 a pill here where as heroin is $10 to $20 for a dose or two so most of the people who got hooked on Oxy’s are doing this now.
Perhaps it’s just that I’ve been lucky that every time the stuff seems to be around I just never seem to be hanging out but this junk does honestly seem to sit upon some out of reach and mysterious pedestal in my mind as it’s one of the only substances I’ve never tried…I know, I know it’s very bad but even so…
