If you haven't yet realized, America has a big opioid problem. Opioids are drugs like pain killers. These drugs are legal and are prescribed by doctors. But that where the problem is. Often times doctors prescribe too many doses of the drug, and sometimes to people who don't always need them. This causes people to become addicted to the drugs, and the doctors keep giving patients more. More than 30,000 people die because of opioids addiction a year. Many people need rehab but don't go. In opinion, this drug problem is the doctors fault. If the doctors keep handing out drugs then the people are going to keep getting addicted to them. If we ban the drugs, people will just create a black market and continue to sell them. The government is going to have a difficult time fixing this issue.

I can't imagine how the government will go about fixing this, I'm sure with trump, theyll just let it go. Logan mook
