A lot of people in the early OOs got addicted to pills because doctors subscribed them liberally and they weren’t regulated that well in hospitals so medical staff who wanted to make an extra buck could easily steal and sell them. The government cracked down on this and then all of the pill poppers turned to heroin, which now is mostly fent.
If we're gonna start factoring how well regulated something is, then sure, as long as there's a problem, something's not "regulated."
They were told by doctors it was non-addictive too.
