Why would people revolt? I had a surgery last year and in pre-op room as anesthesiologists questioned patients about what they were taking, I heard two guys explain why they were on fentanyl patches. They defended their use of them. So many older men are on opioids for chronic pain. They're not going to revolt when their alternative is no solution to their problems. When they become heavily addicted and it's too late, an American sentiment of personal responsibility kicks in.
