How about we figure out where the drugs are hitting the open market? As I said above, the Urgent Care docs were pretty quick to try to force me a script when I had a thumb issue. However, I doubt that one bottle of pills was going to lead me to herion.
But local cops are finding people with MASSIVE amounts of Oxy, legally made, that they got from somewhere. Most don’t have a script.
There are a lot of people selling their pills second hand.

I think the big problem is not prescription pills, but rather things like illegal fenatyl — which I understand is fairly easy to make, either in a USA lab or oversease.

Then you fall into the 98% of prescription users who don’t develop an addiction.
And ditto for my wife, who took opioids for more than a year, before she finally had a successful surgery to cure her pain. As soon as the pain was gone, she was able to stop the pills immediately. Not a hint of an addiction.

How do they know it’s legally made? Might be very cleverly counterfeited stuff.

I really doubt that those resold pills are gonna kill a lot of people, unless the users overdose on purpose, and/or unless they mix them with things like alcohol or fenatyl.
