Opioids (like driving) have some benefit to wider society. Terrorist attacks don't.

I agree they are not identical situations.

Driving is not a good analogy either. A 2 week prescription gives you a 25% chance of becoming an addict. That is Russian roulette odds.

Driving everyday all year has about a 1 in 10,000 chance of death.

Driving is a necessity in most places. Opioids are not.
