Wholeheartedly agree with the statement above from Blackshire about the supposed yet NON EXISTENT opioid/opiate "crisis".
I'm of the opinion that if someone's name is followed by the letters MD or DO, they should be able to prescribe whatever they dammed well please to their patients with ZERO interference from the DEA.
Gov't overreach into the medical profession by the DEA is causing patients in real pain having trouble getting their meds they need as the Physicians are being intimidated by jackbooted DEA tactics and unwarranted oversight.

For real pain relief from injuries, NOTHING comes close to opioids.
I have several friends that are Physicians as well as Dentists and they echo the same sentiment.

A few years back "a friend" had a severe debilitating back injury that was not correctable by surgery that lasted 9 months before opioid therapy could be discontinued. Had ZERO problems with any sort of addiction or withdrawal. They took meds AS DIRECTED and never increased the dosage without consent of their Physician.
Problems happen when individuals take opioids to get "high" and not for therapeutic purposes.
