A good number of them were once productive citizens prescribed legal heroin for things like wisdom teeth or broken bones. They became addicted from unnecessary meds so doctors could get free vacations,etc from their pharma rep.
Seen people get hooked on the Rx pills multiple times. They’ll first mooch off family and eventually get kicked out into the street for stealing. Then they end up shooting dirty heroin in the streets once they can’t afford pills

This is true, I have a nephew who became addicted to Oxycontin due to a sports injury. The reality is, it was due to a careless Doctor! He was fortunate that he (eventually) broke his addiction...
The people who I referred in my post were of a different type - and I should have made that distinction.
Good post! Have a delightful day.
