More people forced into the black market, good job guys. I feel bad for people who get addicted but also feel personal responsibility and choice should be paramount. You should be able to decide for yourself.
IMO they're working to construct a grey market here. As far as I can tell, the "opiate crisis" has become a thing because vested interests wanted to build out a lucrative specialization in "pain management". Florida enacted a law last year severely restricting the ability of ordinary doctors to prescribe opiate medications, legally requiring anyone who needs more than a 72 hour supply to seek it from a separate specialized pain management clinic.
