I think there's a clear distinction here, in that this was a distribution network. They were not getting the pills because they were addicted, but to sell them. Getting busted for possession or purchasing is one thing. Getting busted for distribution is something else, although they may have stacked the doctor shopping charges (note the other drug-related offenses) to be able to lean on them for the distributor information. Also, DA's like to try out new laws, kind of take them for a test drive. It gets them news coverage, and most are elected. Please note my post #20.
