I had to travel to Sudbury for work this week, while there I visited a memorial for the lives lost to overdose/opioid abuse. I was struck by the pictures included on the crosses. Some of these people were so young.

Despite the ravages of Covid-19, there are still many articles in newspapers reminding us that opioid addiction and the deaths resulting from that epidemic are still with us. One thing you can say about humanity, is that we often seem to make things worse before they get better.

If you're dependent on heroin or another opioid, you may be offered a substitute drug, such as methadone.
Methadone, sold under the brand names Dolophine and Methadose among others, is a synthetic opioid agonist used for opioid maintenance therapy in opioid dependence and for chronic pain management. It is most commonly used to treat addiction to heroin or other opioids, and to reduce risk of fatal overdose from street drugs. Prescribed daily, the medicine relieves craving and removes withdrawal symptoms.
Methadone was developed in 1937 in Germany by scientists working for I.G. Farbenindustrie AG at the Farbwerke Hoechst who were looking for a synthetic opioid that could be created with readily available precursors, to solve Germany's opium shortage problem.
On 11 September 1941 Bockmühl and Ehrhart filed an application for a patent for a synthetic substance they called Hoechst 10820 or Polamidon (a name still in regular use in Germany) and whose structure had only slight relation to morphine or the opiate alkaloids.(Bockmühl and Ehrhart, 1949). It was brought to market in 1943 and was widely used by the German army during WWII.
In the 1930s, pethidine (meperidine) went into production in Germany; however, production of methadone, then being developed under the designation Hoechst 10820, was not carried forward because of side effects discovered in the early research.
After the war, all German patents, trade names and research records were requisitioned and expropriated by the Allies.
The records on the research work of the I.G. Farbenkonzern at the Farbwerke Hoechst were confiscated by the U.S. Department of Commerce Intelligence, investigated by a Technical Industrial Committee of the U.S. Department of State and then brought to the US.
The report published by the committee noted that while methadone was potentially addictive, it produced less sedation and respiratory depression than morphine and was thus interesting as a commercial drug.

This is my friend Gretchen. She just lost her 26 year old son to the U.S. opioid epidemic, and is in mourning. If you are using drugs and can't stop, please get some help before it is too late.
I started to run in the inner city about two years ago. I'm not really sure why. I just got bored with the river valley trails, and moved up into downtown. In that time the whole area has been flooded with needles. Flooded.
I have a reoccurring dream where I'm running in bare feet and it's just a road with discarded syringes.
It's a horror. The dream and the opioids.
I can't even tell half the time if its opioids or meth that people are on. If it's meth, they run faster than me.

A vending machine for powerful opioids has opened in Canada as part of a project to help fight the Canadian city’s overdose crisis.
The MySafe project, which resembles a cash machine, gives addicts access to a prescribed amount of medical quality hydromorphone, a drug about twice as powerful as heroin.

Undoubtedly very useful. But how sad to think that there's a need for it...
Naloxone is a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose.

This is my friend Gretchen. She just lost her 26 year old son to the U.S. opioid epidemic, and is in mourning. We decided to document her sense of loss in a series of street portraits in DC. If you are using drugs and can't stop, please get some help before it is too late.

You can see the opioid epidemic getting worse just by the increase in "homeless" folks at so many intersections.
