The pharmaceutical industry is a major part of the problem. Keep in mind morphine and oxytocin were in response to the control of heroin.

Adderall is not so different than methamphetamine.

The well of do these drugs legally and can afford rehab. Many of the people I've know that struggled with opium addiction could not afford to join treatment programs, many of which cost $2k ~ $15k.

There is a lot of money being made in all sides of this game and it's disturbing.

Other way around. Heroin was the response to morphine.

You mean Oxycontin - oxytocin is the 'love hormone' released by your brain.

Alcohol, weed, soft drinks.

If you can get addicted to it, you can get rehab'd for it if you're willing.
