The article mentions fentanyl is more deadly but also 5-10 times cheaper than the opiates it replaces. $4 for an oxy clone is wildly accessible. No telling if I would have tried it as a teenager had they been that cheap and available.


OxyContin caused something in of the order of 500.000 death in the USA, if I remember well from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_Beauty_and_the_Bloodsh.... I wonder how this relates to the number of death related to Fentanyl?

Wouldn't this be a better title?

Washington faltered as Fentanyl & OxyCotion gripped America
