Prescription pain meds aren't expensive either or hard to get, they aren't going away.
My wife had surgery and she got a scrip for a bottle of 200 hydrocodones for $25. 200 of them.

Most people aren't aware that weed helps with pain yet.
Weed doesn't cause Opioid side effects like OIC either. Chronic pain people will flock to edible pot.
In the long run, weed will hurt pain pill sales quite a bit. Edible pot products will eventually take a huge chunk out of the pain pill market.
