Opiate epidemic in Rural America
    #24410210 -

http://iowapublicradio.org/post/why-opioid-epidemic-hitting-rural-america-particularly-hard

The more I take road trips, the more I realize that unless it is a mountain or water recreation area the more problems rural America tends to have.

Most of rural America if not in a scenic area that attracts rich retirees is basically nothing more then a bunch of heroin, meth, elephant tranquilizer usage and binge drinking.
In Nebraska for example, the heroin use rate is the likely the lowest in America but the rates of alcoholism and eating addictions is very high.

For example, rates of obesity in many of non-ranching, non-urban areas are in the 35% to 37% range similar to the rates in Mississippi and West Virginia.

I know here in Nebraska, most people who have rural county license places that come to shop are a good 50 to 100 pounds more then the typical Omahan.

The rate of obesity in Omaha is about 27% and in the rural counties around Omaha it is about 35 to 37% which is about what it is in deep south.

Small villages in Canada are the same, The smart kids leave for the city and most of the others that remains end up doing drugs. With the exceptioin of the scenic villages of course, because those viallge draw educated in because they are vacation spots.

I like a small to medium commute. That way I can live in the country and work in more populated areas with decent jobs.

People who commute long distances are more likely to be overweight.

10-30 minute drive to an area with lots of job opportunities.. Nothing like living a good distance from a city.

Damn, heroin is cheap in rural America. Here in rural Canada it goes for $200/gram. That lady in the article was paying $50/gram. People sell it in my town regularly for $40/100mg.

Yeah heroin just isn't a big thing in the areas I've been in. Mostly oxys, hydros, morphine, ect. Pharms. When I was into that stuff no one could really find it in our town. Other than London, got offered meth and heroin a few times just walking down the street.

I've been thinking about this. How certain types of people are prone to certain kinds of drugs.

Meth: truck drivers and bikers who need to be alert and highly aware of their surroundings even while they are not moving. Remote rural towns due to the limited access and high prices of other drugs

Cocaine: business men who also must work long hours and be enthusiastic and upbeat about the political nature of their work

Acid/shrooms/other psychedelics: young, college folk, groupies. In large part because they have the 8 hours of reality to lose and the day after to recover. They do not have the same responsibility and enforced regulation and stress of these things that others have. They are still open to dreams and fabrication of many possibilities.

Crack: poor parts of cities, ghettos, where the people have little of anything and less to be happy about and often have a sense of malaise due to poor diet, constant stress, and poor living conditions


Heroin: those who live with chronic pain, homeless, people who have little to look forward to and often see little reason to live. People who not only can but would prefer to "feel okay" and "sleep" for hours in any conditions.


Of course I don't mean to blanket, and those have been evolving, but those are traditionally the sorts of people drawn to those sorts of drugs.


Rural job opportunity was hit the hardest in the shricking job market and economic downturn. It is very cheap and very profitable. Those people too often live in chronic pain due to the nature of their work available as well as their often poor diets. Such places normally held fast to religion to give purpose and that too is dying. If anything it remains mostly as a source of guilt.
It is no surprise the opioid episode is hitting these places hard.
