> that the reason people move to heroin is because of the paranoia about addiction which causes their prescriptions to be cut off in the first place

Well it seems they are right, if people will move to an illegal substance right after they get cut from it

Pretty sure if coffee was outlawed tomorrow you'd see a lot of people moving to illegal substances. Doesn't mean people can't handle the substance, just means people who are cut off from substances they depend on will go out of their way to satisfy that dependency.
This is a tautology. You're not "right" to fear illegal drug use if your reaction to said fear (cutting off access to quality-controlled, measured doses) causes it.
