The principle is exactly the same. Physicians missprescribe med, and society follows up by under-prescribing meds. This is the principle I as talking about and it lines up just fine. The difference is that you're saying it's different "because controlled substances". Yes this is a difference, but as far as I'm concerned this is simply arbitrary, as it's a different authority making decrees (vs. doctors just deciding on their own) I'm talking about the policy as a whole. I'm not interested in asking the various stakeholders why, only to have them point fingers at each other.
