How about if everyone stopped playing the blame game (because it's irrelevant) and spent all that effort and time working on a solution instead.

It feels like reality TV has crept into every day life, and now everything has to be turned into a drama. Stop pandering to the drama, start working on a solution already.

You can't defeat something if you don't understand it.
Understanding is very different from blame - that's the main lesson from air accident investigation.

In particular, when you want to assign blame, you create an incentive to destroy or conceal evidence about what's actually happening. For opiates there are criminal penalties as soon as someone steps across the grey boundary between "medically necessary" and "recreational", so obviously everyone involved is going to lie about what's happening.
