Thanks ginnie, and to all!

It was a television show I watched that brought this to mind, and exactly what ginnie is saying about FLA. There is a phenomenon going on called the 'Oxycontin Express'. Where folks (especially from GA. KY.TN.) take the train to FLA, and just walk into a 'Pain Management' facility, and walk out with either a prescription OR a Filled prescription, of narcotics. Then usually they get back on the train, and often sell the pills.
You can still see this show on hulu.com

And, we hear about the FDA, taking the fight to the dr's. and to be a serious pain fighter, narcotics are one of the tools. Doctor fear, and public attitude can add up to a negative attitude toward many of the meds that lots of us take. I don't think a show like that helps.
