I get that you have an axe to grind and want to influence public policy but this opioid crisis just already has enveloped everyone under its ‘mental health’ umbrella. There wont be a resolution on the disparity of enforcement tactics.

Basically I’m just not having that particular conversation with you because thats not what this thread is about, and its clear you only want to derail into your writing prompt. The irony isn't lost on anyone, lots of people have seen the Dave Chapelle "Sticks and Stones" standup.

The structure of this crisis is prescribed drugs. So consumers of any color wont go to jail, and big pharma execs wont go to jail. Perhaps some particularly excessive doctors will, and feel free to make a statistical analysis of their ethnicity and socioeconomic status to find a correlation that matches your distress.

People using unprescribed and scheduled opioids still face law enforcement pressure.
