    Yes, the White House can pass out crack and meth pipes and order citizens to take experimental dangerous drugs, and many don't bat an eye. A sign of the times.

    Were such drugs legal nobody would use them. Why should you take a strong poison when a safe alternative (opium or morphine) is available? Yes, these drugs are addictive, so is chocolate, coffee and alcohol. and alcohol is far, FAR more generally harmful to the body than opium will ever even CONCEIVE of being.

    I'd argue we were less, Opium and it's derivatives are a sovereign for the mental disorders that plague modernity. That they are so much more prevalent today than they were then is a "coincidence" that strains credulity.

    Many reasons. Drug addiction in the 1800s was more common than people realized, because morphine, heroin etc were considered wonder drugs to cure every ill, and it was given even for toothache, and yes, even for kids.

    We know how it went when we had pill-mills handing out Oxy like candy. It ended in the current opioid epidemic. I had 30-40 pill mills within 5 mile radius from where I live, and people drove all the way from Tennessee and the Carolinas to buy some. Thousands got addicted and are now shooting heroin. Imagine if its made available everywhere.

    Pill mills about 7-8 yrs ago shows what happens when such drugs are legalized. They operated in Florida, and people drove hundreds of miles from other States to buys some, and thousands have died of ODs since then. Can you imagine if every pharmacy in US sold them over the counter?

    Not that stupid. The Trump administration just tried killing off all the old people so as not not to pay off Social Security. Hey, maybe WE developed it and that's why Trump is so insistent the Chinese are at fault.

    Morphine and Heroin ARE wonder drugs, at least to cure intractable pain. It has fallen to we oh so wise and CHRISTIAN modern Americans to condemn people to die by inches since we realize how much suffering enlightens us and that we are never truly happy until we are completely miserable.

    The devil with Christianity and to hell with religion.

    Yes, it numbs pain, but if you sell it like Aspirin, people will take it like Aspirin, like they did during the pill mill epidemic, and now thousands are dead because of it.

    Bullshirt. Thousands are dead because of fentanyl, which they started to cut heroin with. They would NEVER mix a potentially lethal veterinary tranquilizer (used for Elephants mainly) into a legal drug. I used to take Percocets for back pain and wasn't addicted (I could always stop and never took them "recreationally" even though I did lots of others) over the entirety of the FIFTY years I took them with no problems. Now I live in mortal terror of doing ANYTHING, (like walking) that even might drive my back into spasm since Ibuprofen and a hot shower have NO effect on pain which I have been reliably informed by pain physicians competes with childbirth in intensity; but, like many dying cancer patients who spend all day screaming, at least I'm not addicted. Thanks DEA and drug hysterics.

    Fracking conservatives and Puritan attitudes.

    They are using street drugs because they got addicted to Opioids when they were being sold from pill-mills.

    Really? What old people did Trump try to kill?

    I thought that was whats-his-name, the dethroned idiot that was running NYC into the ground.

    Some claim all that will go away when all drugs are made legal, or at least not 'illegal'.

    The only long term drug I take is insulin, and if one wanted to push the definition, I'd say I'm 'addicted' to it.
