There is a current little battle between Endo and the FDA. Endo changed the coating of Opana so that it couldn't be crushed and snorted. So, users figured out a way around that and they inject it. It's been a huge problem in places like southern Indiana
From 2012:
Painkiller Opana, new scourge of rural America
So, all of a sudden there was a huge increase in new HIV and Hep 3 cases. Then they instituted a temporary needle exchange program. A day late and a dollar short but
that's Pence for ya.
How the Scott County, Indiana, Needle Exchange Program Works
I don't think people that have chronic pain should be forced to do without painkillers because you have this group over here (or Texas or Kentucky or New York etc.) abusing them.
We need consistent needle exchange programs nation wide and safe injection sites. Many women (and men) that are addicted are prostituting. They are not giving a thought to dirty needles and they sure are not thinking about getting pregnant.
And they can spend years not getting popped for drugs but they are some thieving little bastards.
