I've heard that there was an opium problem with Asian people, back during the Gold Rush in California. Is that true?

Yes, the Gold Rush saw an influx of immigrants from Asia, most notably China, who migrated to California looking for work and to make their fortunes during this period. With them, they brought the culture and use of opium, leading to opium addiction becoming a serious problem at this time.
