Before you say “ugh, just go to drug treatment”, I request that you do a trial run. I don’t say this to be smug. It’s just worse than you know.
Figure out where you would go to access buprenorphine and/or methadone. Without health insurance. When can they see you? What will it cost?

The government’s statement is a flex, not a confession of error. The important elements of the flex are these:
1. We send enemies to brutal foreign labor camps.
2. We decide who enemies are.
3. We may decide you are an enemy based on a secret informant, or our view of your tattoos.
