So if patients can’t get opiate prescriptions legally at the doctors offices, they will get the pills on the street high cost and of dubious quality.
I’m sure there are plenty of Pharma factories in Mexico that manufacture opiates. What’s to stop a Mexican drug cartel from adding oxycodone to their inventory?
I think the cartel wants the folks to turn to heroin when their pill supply is cut/restricted. Pills are more expensive than heroin on the street, but you know what you are getting. Someone told me one standard oxy tablet was worth 50-80 bucks on the street. I guess the cartels have started using labs more, making fentanyl to lace into their heroin. This makes the heroin more addictive and powerful. Overdoses on this fentanyl heroin I guess are pretty common if you aren’t used to it, and when you get hooked the regular heroin then isn’t enough.
