the current opioid epidemic
is majority caused by imported fentanyl, mostly from China. Fentanyl causes the majority of drug OD deaths in the USA and almost none of it is from prescription diversion.
Doctors handing out oxycodone like candy, with kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies was a huge problem decades ago though. But today's street opioid ODs crisis has very little to do with prescribed painkillers. So today's problems mostly driven by contraband for recreational use.
Different story in Mexico and South America. People can get their hands on basically anything in ''pharmacies'' and the governments rarely give a fuck.
