    (directed at everyone except OP)

    Read the article. Seriously. It’s maybe 10 minutes, and absolutely worth it.

    Once you have read the article, I encourage you to bookmark it somewhere very easily accessible and provide it as a response to others over-simplifying the reasons for drug problems in the U.S.

    Not everyone you offer it to will read it, but some will, and among those some will have their minds shifted in important ways.

      I hate to break it to you, but if this place is anything like reddit, almost nobody even clicks through to the article; its something like 2% of headline views result in a link click

        My message was for exactly the people who would see it - people who looked through enough comments that they saw it. Whether it’s a lot of folks who see it or not, an attempt was made.
