I hope everyone now understands why every seemingly-batshit conspiracy regarding the crack/cocaine epidemic exists: because there truly are people in this world who would absolutely stoop so low. And a reminder to the people realizing how bad a drug epidemic can be now that it's hit close to home: opioids primarily hit middle class families with the means to get prescription drugs at all, and have largely been treated in public discourse as a tragic public health crisis. No imagine how devastating a similar crisis would be to people with a fraction of the resources and who were constantly demonized in the media. We have to do better by each other so we can be better to ourselves.
