So true. A lot of addicts are great people who got unlucky. Abuse, trauma, accidents, or just being born into a poor family/community.
Here in Vancouver many people die every week from opioid addiction and overdose. Fentanyl, heroin, oxycodone, etc. It is prescribed for pain, but many people become addicted. Some use it to party or escape. Now it's one of the leading causes of death in Canada.
