Same here, amigo, same here... and that's to say nothing of the suicides and people who ended up in prison for decades on top of the ones who are dead.
The one decent thing about getting old has been the fact that most of the people I knew who got into that shit have either already died or finally got their life together and quit.
I remember 25 years ago, people used to make jokes about "Hillbilly Heroin", because it hit here in Appalachia first, and it wasn't until rich kids in more prosperous places started getting hooked and dying that you ever heard the words "opiate crisis". This part of the country has been fucked over by the wealthy so badly with the loss of steel and coal jobs that have been shipped overseas, but that wasn't enough, those rich pricks had to start selling us poison to kill ourselves too.
Speaking of hillbilly heroin, look up tianeptine. I actually bought it online to help with my PTSD, and then it got banned. It's also called gas station heroin. I was pissed that my vendor stopped shipping it to my state, but it may be for the best, considering the damage it's capable of. I'll be fine without it, if it saves other people's lives.
