Are you taking "the whole opioid addiction crisis" literally?
As if I meant that every single opioid addiction in history is because of "regulated heroin"?
You think that's a reasonable read?
- johnnienaked 1y agoSo you only meant some of it then? Why did you say whole? People aren't mind readers. If you mean some, don't say whole and you'll probably avoid confusing people.
- rkomorn 1y agoBecause there is something that people these days commonly refer to as "the opioid crisis" (or epidemic) [1]. And overprescribed pain meds are seen as a large cause of it / aggravating factor. So yeah, "that whole thing". It's not an unusual expression, that I know of. 1- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic
- johnnienaked 1y agoIt might not be unusual, but in this context it was confusing
