    Worst in the west with our drug OD's

    You would think that if anything would unite us it would be the safety of our sons and daughters dying needlessly in their apartments, our homes and even in the streets.
    But apparently it is not. Tribalism is more important.
    As the article below states our drug problem is much, much worse than in other developed countries like Italy. Portugal dropped their OD rate by a factor of 14 while ours exploded. But it's not just them, it's no fluke. We are the outlier by a wide margin.

    Pretty much every western country is way better at this than we are.
    Why?
    And why can't we slow down Fentanyl? Are we even trying? Keep in mind we were horrible before before fentanyl

    Boy that war on drugs sure is doing something.

    When more of their friends start dying then they will realize the foolishness of what they are doing. Only then when you see a reversal.
    Let's go Brandon !!!

    Even the elites have been hit, but probably not as much as the others

    What gets me is the way they all sing a libertarian tune about drug use and nothing else. $#@! up your life and let Social Services bail you out!
