I think the best thing the FDA could do is create a 'Conceal Carry' type of license which allows you to self prescribe certain types of pharmaceuticals (all would be great, but start with some). You basically take an 8-12 hour course and then pass a test, sign a piece of paper waiving the right to sue over non-compound, non-quality issues, and then get a license which allows you to purchase certain pharmaceuticals on your own. You could in theory reduce liability for doctors and pharmacists, opening up some money for something else like technology. Would boost sales for certain drugs and if done right, could result in a healthier more productive society.
- JamesBarney 10y agoI think this would be great. But I think the course should be per drug. For instance what you need to know to self prescribe MAOIs is very different from what you would need to know to self prescribe SSRIs. It would lead to more people using drugs that are are highly effective but not prescribed for liability reasons like MAOIs.
