This is why rules limiting the production of various prescription substances are stupid.

Do you know what happens when you prescribe somebody their meds and they can't get them? They consider secondary markets. The Rule of Substitution is one of the first economic principles.

I know at least three people who can't fill their prescriptions but "know a guy". I really hope none of it has anything to do with this.

Yep, and each and every one of those pills is a potential danger that a legitimate prescription is not likely to be. Someone resorting to those channels could get anything from a properly functioning medication to one that is too potent, not potent enough, straight up missing the active ingredient, or laced (intentionally or not) with some other dangerous substance.
