Why is there such a big thing about prescription opioids when the addiction rate in less than 1% for those who have been prescribed for pain? - eviltoast

Is it really just because of the fentanyl situation? I know there is a huge disagreement with how the strict rules for prescribing opioids are so tight even for chronic pain patients like myself who can’t participate in life without em struggle to find a provider who is willing to prescribe us them.

    I agree with everything you said here, but just came by to say, “Kraken in the bathtub” is one of my favorite new idioms.
