"This opioid chrisis stems from doctors carelessly prescriping pain medication and patients"
Yes, so think of what would happen if you could buy opioids willy nilly, wherever.
So yes, thanks - even with 'intelligent actors' in the system, it's also a problem.
FYI - the crisis is definitely not just 'doctors' - it's a whole assembly of problems. Doctors can be misinformed, patients can be demanding, regulatory issues, pressure from drug companies.
Apparently America is getting better at prescribing fewer opioids as well, so this is good, but 'getting smart about how to prescribe opioids' (which is good) is one part of the 'war on drugs'.
As for medical uses of Fentanyl, super, that's great, all for it if there's legitimacy - but it's again it's going to 100% have to be 'a controlled substance', ergo, people arrested for smuggling quantities, which they will, ergo, 'war on drugs' continues.
