There needs to be more training for sure, but with anything where you start slapping more and more laws, the law abiding people that need it or aren't doing anything wrong, end up getting hurt. Shutting down the pill mills has also led to more heroin, something they didn't see coming but should have. That tells me people that understand addiction and pain management aren't being consulted in the decisions here.
"We shut down pill mills" sounds good on a campaign trail, they don't finish and say "now heroin use is growing like crazy".
I work in local government but I have issues with government involvement in too many things, they tend to see things very black and white. Black and white is shutting down pill mills and thinking the problem is solved. Ummm.. No it isn't, you've traded one problem for another and that new problem could be very much more dangerous for everyone. Including treatment and continuing education for doctors so legit people don't suffer, would go a long way in curbing the heroin use.
