  > By calling human beings zombies I’m going to assume you lack any empathy. I certainly haven't displayed any, you're right. I would say that "drug addicted people in the streets, unable to care for themselves" is more humanizing than "zombies", but otherwise is unwieldy. > I can say with near 100% certainty you know people who consume drugs. This may well be true, but they certainly are hiding it from me, hence my lack of comprehension of the issue. With over a hundred Americans dying of opioids everyday, it's clearly a widespread issue. I can understand that addicts have an enormous challenge to beat addiction, but I cannot understand how there seems to be more addicts everyday.
