Thank you, Dr. Webster.
Some people abuse opioids. Some people use them successfully to moderate their chronic pain.
There's a lot of players in the current opioid abuse problem, including people who don't ask enough questions and don't inform themselves of the risks. I think too many drug companies are downright greedy when they raise the price of existing, longstanding drugs by 5 or 10 times -- because they can. But I don't think they fiendishly plotted to deliberately create a market of consumer junkies.
