The fact that you need a prescription at all for many of these drugs is crazy.
I don't agree with drug laws related to addictive substances. But at least they make sense. Even laws related to antibiotics. There's potential for abuse, so the controllers at least have a logical (if not reasonable) argument.
But what possible purpose does it serve to require a prescription for insulin? Or chemo drugs which have no pleasant effect?
The blatant racket isn't even questioned when things like this happen.
We should be lobbying to remove the need for prescriptions from most drugs and to remove liability for drug sales from pharmacies and other third parties. This way, they don't have a say. And they shouldn't.
America is a place where the 0.1% probability there is a negative reaction means 25% of the population can't access medications. And they have the chutzpah to say it's for our own benefit. Legislative capture at it's worst.
