Recovery stats on these is very high, its all joyrides
If youwant to demonize drug addiction, start with aPurdue and the Sackler drug cartel, not my neighbors kid who blew a knee, had surgery, and got hooked in 6 days.

Mods, thanks for the edits.
This isn't my van or my words, I just posted a screen shot from another site.
Here's hoping it's found soon.
