OMG.....I almost want to just let you go through life being this stupid. You'd probably be happier thinking you're right and not knowing how completely bonkers this is. If you knew what you were really saying, you might get suicidal.

I've also heard overprescription of opiods was a thing in the US. And if your doctor no longer gives you vicodin for your sore knee, you might be inclined to go looking for heroin.

Heroin comes from Mexico. It's a fact. Look it up.

Wait you agreed that you don't know where the drugs are coming from, or you'd stop them. But now you say you do know.

If it weren't, people wouldn't be looking for heroin, they would just keep taking the pills.

You understand prescription opiates and heroin are just variants of the same drug right? So...listen carefully now.... Dr. Dinkus prescribes vicodin to his patient for a bad back for a year. What he doesn't know is his patient back no longer hurts and he's just hooked on the drug. The gov't tells Dr. Dinkus to stop prescribing so many opiates because, you know, epidemic, so Dr. Dinkus cuts his patient off. The patient goes to his local dealer and starts buying heroin.

And you wanna say Dr. Dinkus had no role in this chain of events?

I didn't say that. Nor did I say that I want to say that. In fact, I'm quite sure I've said the opposite.

Yes it's true that prescription pain pills took hold in this country through some corrupt means, and that's a tragedy.

As far as I know, Dr Dinkus has been called out, and the government has cracked down on Dinkus's everywhere.

How does continuing to talk about Dr. Dinkus solve the problem of the guy currently addicted to heroin?

It shows the fallacy of the idea that making it harder for the guy to get drugs will keep him from taking them, for one thing.

It's not a fallacy.

And you still haven't told me how we're gonna help heroin guy

You could make Emergency Rooms include a gov't funded addiction treatment centre, for example. So when a guy comes in OD'ing, he doesn't just get an injection of adrenaline or w/e and sent home after a night's rest, he gets put straight in the treatment clinic. Or, if a guy wants to stop being an addict, he can go to the nearest ER and check himself in.

If it's an epidemic, treat it like one.

Do you not know what is meant by "due process"?

Lol, I said 'treatment clinic' not 'treatment prison'.

My country doesn't border Mexico and I'm pretty sure I could still find heroin if I wanted to. It might be harder to find than in the US but a determined person (read: addict) could certainly find it.
