Have opiates become the religion of the masses?

I think they should get them if they want them

Escape from a boring or tough life for many who feel themselves drones not really experiencing life. Weed, opiates, alcohol... for some its addiction to sex. Others addiction to adrenaline in risky or highly strenuous activities. etc. etc.

No, turning away from one's life and favoring a feel-better substitute is the religion of the masses. The opiates are just one of the many tools people use to accomplish that.

only the rural masses. In town, it's Weed is the Only True Way, or so it seems

Opiates are the nuke of China and the drug cartels, who can't make war on us any other way.

Communion at “Our Lady of the Sacred Oxy” is very popular

seems that way sometimes.

Marijuana is legalized.

Marketing of big Pharma

Nah

An astute observation

Opiates are the beer of the proletariat .
