Then why do you have an opioid crisis if none of this is a problem?

I didnt deny that addiction exists or that opioids are addictive. That being said, I think the fentanyl crisis and addiction in general is typically a symptom of other complex issues. We are sprinting into a horrific dystopia with intense cost of living pressures. People who can't adapt to that are medicating themselves because there is no other way to cope available to them.
