    It's fair to say that if you're on methadone, you have beaten the system and are winning bigly.

I don't understand. Is this a Trump reference? Or is the point that it's really difficult to get access to methadone clinics? My gut tells me that it's really easy to get access what with the amount of people I see nodding off most places I look around Baltimore. Then again, they might actually be on the drugs themselves and not in treatment, but this is all my gut talking.

That said, this article by The Upshot is pretty outstanding interactive journalism. Especially the county-by-county breakdown of shares of overdose deaths. Ohio looks so rough.
