Question by Reddevil: Is it the Doctors or patients fault that the patient got addicted to narcotic prescription drugs?

It is partially the patients fault for letting the drug control them like that. However, the doctor is to blame for continuing their addiction if they keep supplying high amounts of medication and writing perscriptions often and not doing anything about it.
