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.
I didn't say it very clearly. I meant how people say the heroin epidemic is the result of people using legal prescriptions and then moving on to heroin. Or maybe i'm misunderstanding. I thought people said that a large percentage of people using heroin got hooked on their legal prescriptions, and turned to heroin because it was cheaper and maybe easier to get.
