Why are doctors prescribing pain pills? What a stupid question. Because people are in pain! Quit shifting the blame onto everyone and anything else but the users themselves. Quit enabling them. Quit coddling them. Impress upon them that heroin is death. Instill some fear. Because in the end, the user is ultimately responsible for their own fate. I don't want to be in severe pain and not be able to get the help I need because of a bunch of skanky heroin addicts.
