In this context, it "includes use in any way that a doctor did not direct," which means that it's inclusive of people who buy pills on the street to get high *and* people who redose a valid prescription an hour or two early if their pain returns — IMO, a pretty useless category

Terrible explanations often conflate addiction w/ ODs. Drug combos/intentional suicides/stolen medicine are "opioid" caused. 4 CDC researchers admitted illicit deaths were inflated. This is a great example of probability and reason being "misused" in a new war on LEGAL drugs.

The culture in the USA of the medicalisarion of suffering and cure is at the heart of prescribing practices that set people on this horrible path. Doctors and patients are equally complicit, sadly.
