- refurb 9y agoYes, but when you see stats about opioid use, weak opioids are included. I would estimate a huge percentage of US opioid utilization is codeine in the form of Tylenol #3.
- DanBC 9y agoYou don't think that the US using 99% of the world's supply of hydrocodone is a factor? You keep mentioning Canada, bu Canada has its own opioid crisis and public health officials are working hard to reduce canadian prescribing of opioids. You've also said that canada has higher per capita use - do you have a cite for that? Because it doesn't match any data I've seen.
