This seems to be an attempt by the states to reign in egregiously bad behavior by these businesses/ doctors that are supposed to be federally regulated (which frankly seemed to be lacking). Opioids things seem addictive enough to warrant some review on if there aren't other pain-killers that can replace them completely perhaps excepting in a few exceptional circumstances.
- goatlover 7y agoBecause making a substance illegal has worked so well!
- deelowe 7y agoOpeoids work when used correctly. No one is arguing that they should be banned. Doctors just need to not be lied to so that they don't prescribe highly addictive substances thinking they aren't.
- adrianN 7y agoWhy would you want to make them illegal? What do you plan to give terminally ill cancer patients or people with extensive burns for example?
