You're buying a false narrative. Most midwestern town in states like Montana, the Dakotas, Utah do not have opioid problems. In fact, those states have the happiest and most satisfied people in this country.
- losteric 9y agoActually that is the false narrative. Those states may have the most satisfied people, but they also have the highest overdose death rates: http://www.oregonlive.com/health/index.ssf/2011/11/oregons_high_rate_of_pain_drug.html http://www.oregonlive.com/health/index.ssf/2011/11/oregons_h... (Google "National drug overdose rates" for more info - CDC and academia have plenty of studies, but no pretty graphs)
