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.
Tbh I don’t really see the logic in any other way. It’s just criminalizing desperation after a certain point and I think it’s just super inefficient in dealing with the problem, it actually makes it much worse, and I think that’s how it was designed. Change is gonna come but we all need to work towards, it’s a slow process with ingrained the current culture is.
