That article makes a curious argument: that the UK won't have an oxycodone problem because they already have 2.5x more heroin users per capita than the US — so potential demand is already saturated. I mean, right, they probably won't have any more trouble from oxycodone than they already have from heroin and tramadol, but they already have a big opioid problem. (Maybe they're better at preventing overdose deaths than we are; I don't know.)

- ScottBurson 9y agoI don't know the article's sources, but it says "America has five times the general population of Britain, but only twice the number of heroin addicts." You can research this as easily as I can.
