Interesting statistic that I heard today; 12% of all opioid prescriptions are being written by dentists, and many of these to teenagers and young adults after having their wisdom teeth pulled. I had two wisdom teeth pulled when I was a teenager and the other two after I was out of school and working, and all I got for pain was aspirin.

The biggest problem is all those flyover towns in America, where the locals are just as hopeless as some inner city neighborhoods, black or white no diffetence. No jobs, no entrepreneurship, no future, nothing.

So, just wasting money treating the afflicted is only treating symptoms of a disease that is near impossible to defeat in America. It’s not about those who got addicted be ause tney took a wisdom tooth out and took Vicodin. It is about the many who do drugs because there is nothing else to do.

The US has 5% of the world’s population but consumes 90% of the opiods.

Think about that.
