It's almost like the US government has given up on its long-standing tradition of overseeing global heroin trafficking. But let's rewind and talk about the opioid epidemic for a moment, because in it, I think we will find the likely reason for this apparent change of course.

The opioid epidemic, often considered to have begun in the early 2000s, one might even suggest in 2001, has cost more than half a million American lives and well over a trillion dollars. It was driven first into middle America by the overprescription of new opioid medications like Oxycontin, which were marketed to doctors as a new and non-addictive pain medication.

Purdue Pharma, owned by the Sackler family, also gave real kickbacks, meaning straight-up bribes, to the company that makes one of the most widely used doctor-prescribing portals, so that when doctors would use their computer in the doctor's office to prescribe you drugs, it would give pop-ups, encouraging them to prescribe Purdue Pharma's opioids.

Diese und andere Praxis führten zu einem absolut verrückten Anzahl von Opioiden, die in die heutigen amerikanischen Haushalte über die letzten 20 Jahre fliegen. Im Jahr 2016 waren es 323 Millionen Menschen, die in Amerika lebten. Und die Ärzte haben 215 Millionen Präzisionen für Opioiden geschrieben.

Das ist eine Präzision für zwei aus jedem drei Männern, Frauen und Kindern und Babys in den Vereinigten Staaten. Because prescriptions are often written to the same person multiple times a year, that turned out to be nearly 20% of the population receiving opioid prescriptions that year.

In the median US county, physicians prescribed an amount of opioids in 2015, equivalent to a nearly two-week supply of oxycodone for every resident, man, woman, and child. And for far too many of these Americans, that first prescription turned into an addiction. And when eventually prescription opioids are too hard to come by or too expensive, they turn to heroin and other street drugs.
