Correcting in the other direction is way worse. I had a huge surgery last year in Germany and 8 days later when released from the hospital, bones still not yet fused, I was given no industrial-grade painkillers whatsoever.

I had to cop on the black market to keep from going insane from insomnia and screaming, until I could check myself into an inpatient clinic that would dispense them legally.

There is more harm in making them difficult to get.
