FACTS: Texas has one of the lowest opioid death rates due to being a triplicate state and later crackdown on pill mills starting in 2009, high hispanic population (where systematic racism actually saved lives die to under prescription), good economy, and environmental factors like being a western state that was more likely to have black tar vs powdered heroin that is harder to add elicit materials like fentanyl.

AND “Despite being discontinued, the initial reduction in OxyContin adoption in these states had long-lasting effects, with former triplicate states still experiencing some of the lowest opioid overdose death rates in the country, even two decades after the programs ended. Research indicates that the long-term impact was driven primarily by the lack of initial marketing, rather than the ongoing restriction.”

“Although triplicate states had higher overdose rates before 1996, this reversed after the launch of OxyContin. Studies indicate that if non-triplicate states had adopted similar, rigorous programs, they would have seen 36% to 44% fewer overdose deaths between 1996 and 2017.” “50% less prescribing in states”
