I wonder what is it that seems to make American culture so much more drawn to opiates and stuff. Im in south america and I can get tons of pain medication without prescription at the drugstore (except actual opiates), but I don’t know anyone that does that. Crack seems to be the prevalent drug here, maybe because its dirt cheap. I was an exchange student in the US and had a really bad cavity that needed a root canal. I had brought some pain meds with me from my country just in case, so I was on them when I went to the dentist. He asked me if I needed a prescription and said he was surprised about how calm I was, I should have been screaming in pain. Totally forgetting about how much of a big deal it is in the US, I told him I took some pain meds and he immediately asked me how I got them and stuff. Once I clarified I got them from home, he stopped interrogating me and said “they must’ve been good ones, to ease that kind of pain.” On my way out his secretary asked me if I could hook her up with some. I was like “Wtf???” I know it’s a thing, but I still don’t get it. It made my tooth stop hurting, but its not like I was tripping or anything! How would people get hooked up on that if they are not in physical pain????

Fellow neighbor from Brazil. I know some countries are taking refugees (we are) but they are mostly being placed in underdeveloped areas because of the high amount of people coming at once. Eventually people are being placed in other areas of the country. Do you know if other countries (like argentina, where you want to go) are doing the same? Are there any downsides to leaving under those conditions? All we hear is that we are helping, but I’m sure it’s not that easy or else more people would be coming, so I guess I’m mostly wanting to be enlightened from you guys’ perspective.
