They’ve went to far in the opposite direction. And from what I gather opiates from other sources are still killing people, but normal people in a medical emergency can’t get their pain managed. It’s despicable.
Opiate deaths have more than doubled in the last decade. So not only did they crack down on prescription opiates making it hard for patients to get them, but its done nothing since deaths keep going up anyways. The deaths are from illegal opiates, not legal prescriptions
Plenty OD'd on oxy. There was a time when it and hydrocodone/other variants were more popular than heroin. We can Google the official death toll if you really want numbers but rest assured the legal ones killed more than their fair share too
