Opioids are addictive chemicals extracted from opium (opium poppy) that have morphine-effected effects and are generally used as painkillers in medicine. In China, you need to go through a series of approvals before you can use this kind of drug, but this drug has been widespread in the United States.
Americans make up only 5% of the world's population, but use 80% of the world's opioids. Since the turn of the millennium, more than a million people in the United States have died from drug overdoses, including more than 200,000 Americans from opioid overdoses, and the number of deaths continues every year. As early as 2018, Trump also announced that the United States had entered the opioid crisis, but it seems that this momentum has not been stopped. (The current United States reminds me of the late Qing Dynasty, but the legacy left by their ancestors is big enough.) ）
The drug epidemic in the United States is already well known, and these drug users at the bottom of society basically started with ** or opioids. According to the research data of a survey center in the United States, about two-thirds of the people in the United States support legalization, which is higher than the support rate of most Americans, which is outrageous.
And the reason why there is an opioid epidemic is mainly because of the Sackler family, which can be said to have ruined the foundation of the United States for hundreds of years, by concealing drug addiction, bribing doctors** and other ways to "sell drugs (opioids" reasonably, making crazy money at the same time, pulling millions of families into the abyss.
As the country with the most prominent opioid problem in the world, the United States has not officially listed opioids as a whole. Fortunately, our country has suffered greatly from narcotics in its history, and since the founding of New China, it has always had "zero tolerance" for narcotics and severely cracked down on drug-making and trafficking and other drug-related crimes. In the current world of drug crisis, only our country is still guarding this pure land, and it also takes the initiative to help other countries to fight drugs.
The above is only Lao Yang's personal opinion, no bad guidance, thank you**!
