I don’t know much about Matthew Perry. The “Friends” star was a gifted comedic actor and an addict who spoke honestly about his suffering in order, it seemed, to help others. And yet while attending a recent Zoom meeting after his death, I heard educated people having a serious discussion about all the things that could kill you while sitting in a hot tub. And I thought, yep, this is what we do. We can’t help ourselves. I’m not claiming to be above celebrity intrigue.
Our government could not have botched the response to the opioid epidemic more badly if it had been intent on doing so. Our draconian, racist drug policies need major overhauls. People in genuine need of pain medication can’t get any because the DEA is breathing down the neck of every doctor in the country. You know where people go when they can’t get pain medication legally? I know where I’d go. Meanwhile, getting rid of drugs doesn’t rid the nation of addiction. The disease doesn’t disappear.
