Dr. Andrew Kolodny says young people should buy heroin on the street rather than pills...

 KILLERS AND PAIN: Painkiller law sends users to heroin

I really don't what to say except Dr. Andrew Kolodny the chief medical officer of Phoenix House is a complete IDIOT!

In this article Kolodny said, "Are we better off with that young opioid-addicted person using oxycodone than buying heroin on the street?" said Dr. Andrew Kolodny, chief medical officer of Phoenix House, which operates treatment programs in 11 states. "I would say we're better off them buying heroin on the street." 

WOW a physician saying he would rather see people using heroin than getting medications from their physician

I spent 15 years working undercover narcotics and I can tell you addicted people are professional drug abusers. When it comes to pills they know what amount it takes to get high without overdosing, with heroin it's a crap shoot if they live or die.
