I am not worried about this at all. Let people have their meds. I have had some limited experience with painkillers- when I had my MRSA infection, and the aftermath- and quite frankly, never found percocet or vicodin habit forming in the least. They make me sleep, and sometimes make me slightly nauseous- that's it. But I'm glad they are available- and if they make people feel better, heck, hand 'em out like candy. I've never seen the point in being puritanical. If alcohol is your drug of choice you can be slammed 24-7- so why not let people have other, often less physically injurious, drugs? Makes no sense to me to keep the lid on this particular candy jar- but the sin laws (drugs, prostitution, etc) make little sense to me. Illegality just keeps prices high, which in turn gives an incentive to mobs to move in on these businesses.
