Having lost two friends and a cousin to opioids, you better BELIEVE this is personal to me!

2. Opioids, like many dangerous drugs, have a real, beneficial purpose.

Individuals are responsible for what they ingest. I don't blame the companies for selling a drug that's for a useful purpose. I don't blame pot for people smoking too much instead of getting up and going out job hunting every day. I don't blame alchohol for alcoholism.

In the end, a person is responsible for his own behavior. Curtailing a drug because some misuse it doesn't make sense.

3. If it were only that simple

I will agree with you on one level. Personal responsibility is critical. Ultimately, it’s a huge part of successful, sustained addiction recovery. However, if “just say no” was a real way to deal with the realities of the physiology and psychology of addiction, Nancy Reagan would have wiped out drug and alcohol abuse in my lifetime.
