I was just reading a story on Middletown, OH which is apparently just being destroyed by heroin, and these people didn't get there because they became hooked on legal prescriptions, and switched to heroin.
As an aside, one guy in the story who has now been clean for a couple of months ODed 8 times in seven days and was revived with Narcan. Once a day plus one. That's nuts.

According to this source, in 2015 12.5 million Americans admitted to misusing pain meds while 914,000 admitted to using heroin. And that's just the people who self reported. I can show you more later.
