  1. One thing also driving the crisis which gets near zero attention is lack of accessible, affordable medical care aggravated by pain doctors afraid to prescribe effective medicine. Opiates used for their medical purpose are irreplaceable, but the innocent people like myself in chronic pain will have nowhere else to go when they cannot get effective pain meds. While I'm covered thanks to Tricare most Americans have job-contingent medical insurance so they're walking a tightrope. There are pain levels which compel even dangerous action to counter them, which after all is the evolved purpose of the pain reaction to stimuli. Given sufficient pain over sufficient time (often years) anyone would take any risk to reduce it.
