 “We have to do something about the opiate crisis”

Easy. Make safer drugs 
 "hmmm what does my patient need? A med that calms them down and lets them focus? Well I mean there's pot which synergizes with ADHD... Nahhhhhhhh let's give em Adderall for the attention, get em hyper and addicted, Xanax to calm them down and dope em up, lorazepam because the fucker will never be able to sleep again, a sprinkle of setraline because she sounded a little like a Debbie downer over the phone, and methadone because why not? It'll keep her coming back. " 
 Death? A side effect? 

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Actually yes. But it's rare. So no need to worry! 

Here have some hydroxyzine.  
 True fucking story
