    We have the exact issue in the US and since physicians will not prescribe opiates due to the increased scrutiny, this is one of the primary reasons for the resurgence of heroin.

    That, and suddenly taking Ocycontin off the market, as I mentioned above. <-- so grateful my disabilities have all been fairly pain-free.

    Yup - get very tired of the do-gooders in this world never thinking of the consequences of their actions.

    I remember reading a government file way back when the world realized it wasn't such a good idea to feed bears garbage. The file contained a letter from a park ranger pleading that the "no garbage for bears" policy be phased in. Suddenly cutting off a dependable food source would be traumatic to the bear population. But phased reduction is political suicide. So the Jasper bears had to go cold turkey.

    I thought of those poor bears when Oxycontin was suddenly pulled off the market over the protests of family doctors.
