Question by he1ididog: What does the prevalence of drug abuse say about our society? What would someone from the past conclude?

Part of the reason for the drug epidemic is the stigma. Once you are hooked, you are shunned by society and backed into a corner in an unending downward spiral. if people were more accepting and treated the problem (with better education than “Just Say No”) it wouldn’t be as wide spread.
