I partially agree with your statement that America has a good standard of living. I traveled quite a bit, and I'm sorry to say that we ('muricans) have fallen behind a lot compared to almost ALL EU countries (including the poorer eastern bloc) and lots of Central and S American countries. Poverty, homelessness and crime is a lot worse than what I've seen even in big Mexican border towns.Drugs are frowned upon here too. Regular people fucking hate addicts and even innocent pain patients prescribed opioids. Like Americans really fucking hate eachother for a variety of reasons but drug users of anything beyond weed...even prescribed for illness, are like seriously hated by the societ, even if you are a successful and rich drug user, normal americans hate users with a passion.....but we still have a ton of them...so drug users just don't give a shit.
America has a good standard of living I'm guessing compared to a lot of places...so it just baffles me why ppl abuse so much more downers than other countries that don't do depressing drugs.
It's very entrenched in religion I feel like. We have baptists and protestants and all these really fundamentalist extremist christians...not just catholics you have which are more tolerant. Like these fundamentalist religions that are very popular in America that fucking hate a lot of groups amd anyone that uses anything besides alcohol is hated by them severley..
...yet we use a fuck ton of non party drugs like opioids and downers and i don't understand why it is such an American thing.
It has nothing do do with all the pharmaceutical company propaganda the media tries to blame the entire drug epidemic on Purdue pharma. Which is a total bullshit excuse.
We also have a massive meth problem and it's not a party drug anymore for the addicts...it's a self destructive drug they use alone. Just like opioids
It feels like people don't like each other anymore, we're becoming a very divided nation, all done by some that play us on fingers from the top (both sides of the aisle). Compassion and solidarity are replaced by envy, greed and a 'dog-eat-dog' attitude.
