      Interestingly, this does not match opioid overdose rates which are highest in West Virginia, DC and Delaware. Arkansas has one of the lowest rates.

      Would be interesting to compare education levels and accessibility to opioid usage. Also, availability of medical care.

      Do southern states have a higher proportion of manufacturing and agriculture jobs than the Midwest?

    4. Wait what? Between 20 and 75% of the population had opioids prescribed within one year? Or am I reading this wrong? Here in Germany opioids are for things like terminal cancer, so very rarely prescribed

      No surprise that the corridor of shame which runs through the Mississippi delta and its neighboring states runs at the top of the list here.

      Damn those Red states need them meds. Jfc 😂 talk about being dependent on something.

      Ok, the fentanyl problem is local, no only from Mexico, china, Canada, and cartels. Why they doctors did this? Its like destroy a fly with a shotgun.

      Why are California and Texas so low? Plenty of agriculture and manufacturing jobs there too to cause injuries.

      Is this a map of Greatest Religious Hypocrisy, Greatest Alcohol Use Per Capita, or Greatest Opioid Use Per Capita … or all 3?

      Poorer, generally less educated regions with more chronic illness and predatory pill pushers taking advantage.

      The reasoning for why more opioids seems pretty bogus. Much of the South literally has fewer physical jobs than the rest of the country.

      They are more likely to work retail.

    12. What is the exact meaning of “dispensing rate” I assumed people per hundred with a prescription but this is vague

      “…per 100 residents”

      Do the residents in this data include children? Who I presume make up about 20% of any given state? And if so, that makes these numbers even more outrageous!

      Watch the documentaries on the Sackler family and Perdue Pharma, the untold damage they did to this country

    15. ClampsTheMafiabot on

      What is the dispensing rate? Surely this isn’t essentially percent of population prescribed opioids??
