  Wonder why the northern great plains are so resistant to this problem?

    population density? Maybe the pill mills only located in certain areas.

    I'm from those plains and my guess is folks there refuse such drugs, even when they may need them (like after surgery), because: 1. They're tough people. A little pain means you're still alive! 2. They don't want to get hooked - too many people/animals rely on them. 3. Social stigma associated with such drugs. I had foot surgery a couple of years ago and the Dr. tried to prescribe me opioids but I refused. I've seen the damage getting hooked on those can cause (in Dallas) and don't want that junk anywhere near my life.
