The vast majority of those who overdose on opioids are non-Hispanic white Americans, who made up close to 70 percent of the annual total in 2020. Black Americans and Hispanic Americans accounted for about 17 and 12 percent of cases, respectively.
U.S. military veterans, many of whom suffer from chronic pain as a result of their service, account for a disproportionately high number of opioid-related deaths. Veterans are twice as likely as the general population to die from an opioid overdose, according to a study commissioned by the National Institutes of Health.
Research has also shown that the opioid epidemic has hit some groups harder than others, including men, people with disabilities, those who have lost a spouse, renters, and those without health insurance. One analysis found that opioid overdoses have taken about a year off the life expectancy of U.S. males.

The vast majority of fentanyl overdoses kill Trump supporters.
The reason is fentanyl is cheap, doesn’t bear the stigma of heroin, cocaine or meth, is highly addictive and just a tiny amount over the intended dose is fatal.
Lower education whites, mainly men, die in record numbers.
I wonder how many overdoses are actually suicides.
Yes law enforcement should crack down harder on dealers.
But all would be saved, if people said no
