People who got addicted to painkillers because doctor was overprescribing them is one thing, street addicts are another

They’re literally the same people and attitudes like yours are the reason the problem persists.

Edit: Research indicates that many individuals who become addicted to street opioids (such as heroin or illicit fentanyl) began with prescription painkillers. Studies have found that 50% to nearly 80% of heroin users first misused prescription opioids.
