    Thanks @FinneousPJ ! I'm sure I'll bring up the substance of my argument if the opioid crisis ever becomes a topic on the politcs thread!

    May I ask, what is the opioid crisis?

    nvm, I found it: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40479686. Not something to make on happy.

    @booinyoureyes I know I'd be interested. The attempt to deal with it by monitoring doctors in an attempt to prescribe less for pain has left ppl in the lurch for legitimate causes of needing pain relief. New ideas are sorely needed. B)

    @Zaghoul my academic article discusses the illicit sale of opioids (fentanyl in particular), rather than the prescription markets. However, I do share your concern about under-prescription for those who are in need of pain relief!

    @booinyoureyes There is definitely more than one aspect of the crisis that needs to be addressed, and the one your article tackles is most certainly one of them. :)
