a lotta misinformation and fukkery around when it comes to these types of drugs. kids don't know what they're getting into . i guess it wouldn't make a difference even if they did.
it's crazy because the pill game (opiates) is way past it's prime / peak. shyt is all but gone. doctors getting popped left and right and the ones who are left aren't giving shyt out anymore. DEA breathing down their necks. even people with legitimate use for scripts are having a hard enough time. so if people think whatever is going on now is bad because because a few rappers talk about dropping a perc10 in their drink , they either weren't old enough or weren't paying attention to what was happening 10-12 years ago when oxy was no more than 50 cents a MG on the street and flowing like water
the xans really got big I would say around 2011-2012 when low key it coincided with the dark web and vendors pressing up replicas (with alprazolam) that you could get 1,000 packs of for pennies on the dollar. that's when they started flooding the streets. before than when it was just relegated to people getting scripts they were around, but weren't everywhere like they were a few years ago. even that's low key died down now in real life. I dunno anyone copping K-packs like that anymore or if they're even around...
opiate withdrawal is the absolute worst but I'd still take that any day of the week over Xan/Benzo withdrawal
when people say "opiate epidemic" they're talking about heroin and primarily the fentanyl laced heroin. pills are nowhere as big as they used to be.. the demand is there but the supply isn't anything like it was. let rappers tell it, and they are everywhere...but trust that they really aren't

I live in The Bronx. Heroin is a staple in my hood too...But heroin always had a bad rep. The percs and xans is something new and hip hop is promoting it like its cool. So the hood is into it like its cool to do. Thats the issue I'm having with this shyt. The popularity of it as if its cool is a seriously dangerous path and Hip Hop is treating it like its recreational like weed. That's an unsettling reality.

And tbh I’m @C00NM0NGER would co-sign this that Louisiana probably was the black pill poppin capital dating back atleast 15 years from now.
The music from Baton Rouge, layefette and Shreveport was all full on pull poppin music
The dance jigging is pretty much a pill poppin song
“Not to mention got the styrofoam poured up with syrup
And in the tires where the package is gone
Midas been a Goodyear with these Firestones
I spit like Maya's poems, palming chromers
For the buyers chromosomes I got soma's
I got vicodins, valiums I ain't stopping
Got powder, heroin, ex, oxycontin
And that's how we rocking”
This was Wayne rapping with Cassidy, fabulous in like 04-05
The streets been popping pills.

oh word cause fukk people who life ain't going so good huh If youre doing these drugs in 2018 you deserve to die.
J Cole just made a album about it tho. It’s called KOD, which means “Kids on Drugs, King Overdosed, and Kill Our Demon”
There needs to be a movement. A real movement, were someone comes out and starts pointing fingers at the current state of hip hop. The same way we had a "stop snitching" movement were every rapper had an opinion and it became a political topic until Camron and First 48 made it a joke. Cole aint doing that. I mean he could...But he aint there now.....Someone needs to really go up against the dragon. Like a real campaign with the same energy like what Pac had for Biggie.

Then artists should get the blame for pushing the drug culture forward to the mainstream. It’s the big companies who benefit off of the drugs. They the ones making money.
