    They should also go after the doctor’s in their own state that prescribe these like candy. You can go into any pain clinic in the state of Arizona, tell them you want oxicotton and whammo, you’ve got it.
    If nothing else, make it illegal for drug companies to give any type of kick back to doctors for prescribing their drug. That would curve a lot of doctors away from prescribing this stuff to the extent they do. Now they’ll think about the patient first vs how big their kick back check is going to be.

      I agree wholeheartedly. The whole system is corrupt, unfortunately. When doctors are incentivized to offer narcotics to their patients, they do so en masse. Ibuprofen 800 is sufficient for long-term pain management for many pain-sufferers, and the ones who need opioids can oftentimes be given them in much smaller dosages, coupled with ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, or acetaminophen.
