America has been having an opioid addiction crisis since hi-dose Rx opioid was used in treatment of severe pain as early as The Vietnam War when returning veterans suffering severe pain from war injuries required potent opioid to deal with physical pain, as well as in many cases depression, one of several Sx of severe PTSD - Cf.
