I see this situation from both sides, and it's a mess.
Sandy has chronic degenerative spine and requires frequent pain treatment. It's gotten so bad that regular doctors don't like to give prescriptions of controlled drugs for fear that the DEA will show up locked and loaded. Then there is the record keeping and expense of dealing with controlled drugs (I deal with that professionally and it's a pain - pun intended)
I understand that there is a drug problem in our society, but to make it so difficult to prescribe or get drugs for those who really need them isn't a good solution.
Neither was the "Just say NO" campaign or locking up drug offenders (half our jail population is drug related) are solutions. The cost's due to people feeding their habits and then society housing them in jails just doesn't seem to be reasonable.
Now they are trying to reduce supply by making it harder to get controlled drugs. We know how effective that is, just look at how prohibition fueled organized crime. Now the drug cartel/organizations component of crime will find a source even if every prescribed controlled drugs are eliminated.
If you can tell, this is a sore subject with me.

Well, poor Charlie, hope all goes well with him and his medical issues.
Have a great day!
