Both valid points. I'm pretty keen on the concept of harm reduction, but how much overlap there is between harm reduction and blindly trying to reduce the consumption of opioids remains to be seen.

"Harm reduction" has a specific meaning im the context of addiction (such as needle exchange programs, etc). Cutting people off from their access to legal opiods does not qualify as "harm reduction", but the opposite as it pushes people to unsafe street drugs.
