People get addicted to prescription opioid pain medications and eventually switch to heroin because it is so much cheaper.

Heroin is relatively cheap compared to the recent past, but it's still far more expensive than prescription drugs. They switch because the DEA has made it very difficult for doctors to prescribe painkillers for any length of time.

Heroin addicts are not taking it because they need a pain killer. They take it for recreation.

“Heroin is relatively cheap compared to the recent past, but it’s still far more expensive than prescription drugs.”

That isn’t what I have heard. I thought pills were more expensive on the street. You know exactly what you are getting, at least to the folks who are familiar with the pills and dosage. While heroin is a crap shoot, it could be super weak or really strong. I could be wrong.
