A new synthetic opiate has killed dozens of European heroin users. Nitazenes, which are up to 300 times more potent than heroin, are increasingly showing up in the continent’s drug supply, sparking fears that they could fuel a surge of overdoses, on par with North America’s fentanyl crisis.

Because Europe never went through a prescribed opiate problem like USA. No problems with things such as purdue pharma

The US aggressively pushed opioid prescriptions for pain treatments in the 90s and 2000s.

The REAL Drug problem has come from the LEGAL pharmaceutical companies. Imagine that?

By the way, the opium production actually grew while the US were there

Because in Europe the doctor chooses the prescripted drug appropriate to your treatment and not the patient. Also there is a ban for advertising for prescripted drugs, so we never knew that there is something like oxycontin.

Not getting an opioid prescription if you stub your toe might have helped as well

Cracking down on heroine is part of what started the fentanyl epidemic in the US and further crack downs have led to the common use of worse and worse drugs in the US and other places. I never heard of drugs like Flakka or Tranq when I was younger but now as it gets harder and harder to find normal stuff people start taking more dangerous and life threatening drugs. Cracking down on drugs has to my knowledge never succeeded in reducing drug use or even drug deaths in a population that already has excessive drug use.

The phrase "pain as the 5th vital sign" was introduced in 1996 by James Campbell, MD, president of the American Pain Society, to raise awareness of pain treatment among healthcare professionals.
This and a good amount of doctors pill pushing during the 1990s into 2015.
I know now as an adult who lives with severe injuries and pain from the war in Afghanistan almost every doctor I’ve seen will only give me Tylenol or gabapentin. They said having pain is better than running the risk of being addicted.
I’m not downplaying the opioid epidemic at all, but there is now a panic to not prescribe opioids in general. Not everyone abuses them. To some it gives us a better quality of life.

To be honest, everybody has managed to avoid an American style fentanyl crisis. This problem (as are many other societal calamities) is unique to the US.

There is some great, as yet undiagnosed, underlying societal ill that makes the US a champion of gun crime, drugs, homelessness, social and racial division, and constant angst and political cult warfare.

I personally think an effort needs to be made to identify what exactly the contributing factors are that make the US stand out so much amongst the rest of the developed world. Because for something to change, something gas to change..

In the US the medical care benefits from addiction in Europe healthcare is paid by taxes and to create a drug addict is super expensive. To get a prescription for a controlled substance is very hard in Europe that’s why we have less drug addicts.

I've always said it, if all drugs were clean and of the same potency every single time nobody would be overdosing. Legalizing drugs and selling them in a controlled manor, which includes constant potency testing and proper dosing, will literally end overdoses

No Sackler family and no corporate medical system for such people to take advantage of.

In nursing school, we were told that a person in pain does not become addicted..... I have seen many pictures of USA soldiers guarding the poppy fields in Afghanistan. At one time, a lot of heroin came through Vietnam.....

pretty strange that US dependence on opioids steadily rose while we were there (just like when we were in Vietnam, another big producer in its day). hmm…

I can tell you opioids are prescribed very sparingly. Also for example in portugal we have decriminalized drug usage and have centers where people can have clean material/test their drugs.

We're also using a wider range of non-opioid painkillers that actually work even for post surgery recovery so people don't end up needing to buy street drugs to replace or supplement their prescribed ones

So basically, while the US allowed heroin production to go on unimpeded during their occupation of Afghanistan, the Taliban stopped it just like that?
