  >Still many more annual overdoses of prescription pills than illegal drugs. Not since around 2016, which is around when the panic with pills started and we started cracking down. It did put a small dent in pills but fentanyl is off the charts. We probably would have been better off, at least in terms of deaths, if we had just ignored the "opioid epidemic." https://www.drugabuse.gov/drug-topics/trends-statistics/overdose-death-rates https://www.drugabuse.gov/drug-topics/trends-statistics/over...
