Be prepared for a massive influx of Opiates on the Streets.
The Black Market, (government included) will make fortunes from selling illegal pain killers! Not to mention the increase of profits for the Corporate Prison system............
They act like they are doing it because they care, but in reality, rest assured it will end up being a great way for the illicit drug trade, ie CIA and Judicial/Prison system to fill more cots!
Why would there be an influx of opiates on the street when this thread is specifically about them increasing the roadblocks to obtain opiates?
Per the OP's source, the DEA is the agency responsible for implementing this program, due to an over abundance of prescription pain killers. Some people steal them, others sell them.
By decreasing the amount of prescription pain pills what do you think people will resort to as an alternative? The streets maybe?
I don't see the war on drugs going away anytime soon with this kind of thinking.

Our state has seen a huge surge in heroin overdose deaths since they cracked down on pain management clinics a couple of years ago. Here's just one story---if you Google Kentucky's heroin problem, you'll get lots of them.

All the new laws in Kentucky did was to drive up the costs of the sought-after pharmaceuticals, to the point where heroin is cheaper but because there's no regulation on dosage, we're seeing a lot more overdose deaths.
The law of unintended consequences....

As a matter a fact our State legislators just passed a law allowing use of a heroin overdose drug...

Nothing wrong with that. And it's not a "heroin overdose" drug, Narcan will reverse any opiate. It's a good thing that they'll let EMS and police administer it now.
Not that the users will like it, it harshes their buzz in an immediate and unforgettable way.

However, the governor hasn't signed the bill yet, so it isn't as I originally stated.
I am surprised they put the good Samaritan clause in though.
