TL;DR really fucking bad

In all, 12 states had more opioid prescriptions than people 2012:

Alabama: 142.9 per 100 people

Tennessee: 142.8

West Virginia: 137.6

Kentucky: 128.4

Oklahoma: 127.8

Mississippi: 120.3

Louisiana: 118

Arkansas: 115.8

Indiana: 109.1

Michigan: 107

South Carolina: 101.8

Ohio: 100.1

Now here's what I wanna know: how is it that an ethnicity that legit fought opium wars are apparently immune to opioid addiction?

FYI: the John Oliver segment on opioids is largely cribbed from the 2-hour Frontline on opioids linked in the article.
