> Nobody but a complete degenerate wakes up one day and says "You know what, I think I'm going to mainline some heroin." Opioid addiction starts with pills. If you take heroin out of the equation, they're going to start making krokodil or some other shit. You can't solve the drug problem until you solve the doctor problem.

It doesn't have to be pills. Snorting and smoking opioids is another way to start as well.

The rest of your comment checks out though. I can't even stand getting a flu shot so the thought of shooting up heroin gives me chills.
