I love how nuanced the thinkers of HN are. Given the responses here, evidently the options are to either (a) let Purdue market heroin to kids or (b) ban all non-pharmaceutical drugs and give no-knock warrants to FULLY TACTICAL® DEA AGENTS so that they can smash in the doors of non compliers. EDIT: this was in response to the pre-edit version of the comment. I think the current version of your comment is much more reasonable. I broadly agree with your point: when people have bad incentives they will do bad things. So my response to that is to try to give doctors better incentives, and limit the extent to which pharmaceutical companies like Purdue can inject perverse incentives back into the system.
