Can someone give me a tl;dr of why the onus is not on the user of said drugs?
To me, it's a given that opoid class of drugs would both be addictive AND not very good for anyone long-term. Where exactly should liability come in?
Someone made the comparison to cigarettes, but let's be honest, even if Dr.s were telling people "oh, it's healthy!" the logical person's response should have been, "Oh really, dr? Then come, let us set fire to your office, breathe that in for a good half hour, I'll be over across the street. Come talk to me after you've had a good cleansing few lung fulls of smoke!"

They lied.
Half of everyone is stupider than average.
