Deny people in constant pain a supervized, effective pain relief, because for some reason long term opioid use is a moral issue.
But long germ use of metformin isn't, long term use of antidepressant isn't, etc.
After weeks, months or years, people in pain buy painkillers from drug dealers who don't know or care about how pain management. But they do know how to get them shitfaced high on euphoria playing with dangerously high doses for recreational use.
People get hooked, highly likely to OD on Fentanyl because it's relatively cheap, but can kill you with a small pinch of it because it's so potent.
The more the government drills doctors to reduce opioid prescriptions, stop giving prescriptions for painkillers, send their patients away with drugs that will not alleviate their pain but make them give-up bothering trying to get help for it...
