It was only a matter of time until the truth about opioids’ addictiveness became obvious and undeniable. Only THEN did the “whole” medical system start clamping down on opioids.

Sorry I didn't mean to minimize the topic down as much as I did. This wasn't meant as an explanation for the beginning or the source of the opioid epidemic. Just another step along the path of poor management. You summed it up better above, thank you.
