Drug deliveries? Police data? EMS data? Hospital admissions?

CDC has some data, but it's old: https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/maps/rxrate-maps.html

@Ajay, do you have available current opioid prescription that we can use?

@ajay mentioned PDMP data https://crisphealth.org/services/prescription-drug-monitoring-program-pdmp/ and HCUP data https://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/db/nation/nis/nisdbdocumentation.jsp, but I don't see any data for download on these sites. If this information can be obtained by the end of this week, maybe we can overlay it.

Thinking about other social media platforms, Yik Yak might be a possibility. Every post is lat/long tagged and it's anonymous, so people might feel safe talking about drug use. Not sure if there's an API available though.
