Opioid addiction is a problem for people who have chronic pain and cannot get their meds  because others are abusing the system. I support a database that will intervene and help people not become/remain addicts, and not punish those who need pain relief.

For a time, I required opioids for a chronic health problem (when my health concern was resolved, I had no problem stopping "cold turkey" because I didn't abuse them). When I got my Rx-s filled, some pharmacists treated me with a severe lack of respect, presumably deciding I was an addict. If they had access to such a database, they would know I had no addiction behavior - the Rx quantity was not increasing, I wasn't Dr-shopping. 

When you are in pain, it's hard to deal with patient roadblocks created to stop abusers. Empower the Drs and pharmacists who control the distribution instead of adding more hurdles for the people who are sick. It is not pleasant to be ill, and it shouldn't be hard to get an Rx filled when you need it.
