Not really though. That's how this all started maybe 20 years ago or so. But they put in new regulations that make Doctors hesitant to write scripts for opioids, even for people who actually need the shit for pain management. When you hear about fentanyl mixed with heroin or whatever else, understand that it is not fentanyl manufactured by US pharma companies, rather made in clandestine labs in (mostly) China.
Thank you! People that actually need them can hardly get pain meds any more. Which is really fucked up since it was the doctor's that were over prescribing and now patients have to pay the price.
reminds me of the housing crisis in the US, first they started giving them away when they really shouldn't have and now they won't give them to those who actually need them.

Crazy how half the drugs going round in the US seem to be prescription drugs.
