    I keep hearing about a meth and fentanyl epidemic, but as far as I’m aware, I haven’t met one person in my entire life that uses either of them.

      Come here to Terre Haute, Indiana. You’ll meet a whole lot of people addicted to meth and various opioids.

      It’s always fun when they decide to direct traffic.

      You have met people that use one or both, or have in the past.

      It’s not even a “big city” problem. Both of the above are ripping rural towns apart as well.

        At least 1 in 50 of your coworkers are using fentanyl or abusing opiates.

        Also, meth is still a big problem in the gay community unfortunately.

        But it’s just a bad scene all around when conisder like 10% of everyone abuses alcohol in some way. It all seems systemic, I wish life were better.
