I'd really like to understand your comment better Aerroon.
Is this something to do with the US healthcare system? Can you
elaborate please?
(BTW if it is, one of my friends who is a type-1 diabetic was involved
in the very political "humanitarian airdrop" of insulin to the USA. -
so I kind of get it)
- Aerroon 2y agoI'm not in the US, but drug politics is pretty similar globally due to the Single Convention of Narcotic Drugs of 1961 and its successors. Asthma inhalers just happen to fall under a prescription requirement in my country like most other drugs. Sure, this has its benefits, but also downsides. That's really all there is to it. I only brought it up, because I rarely see this side mentioned. Everybody seems to think that prescriptions aren't a barrier, but from my experience that's not true.
- nonrandomstring 2y agoThanks, I see. Yeah I used to be more pro-control, particularly because of antibiotic overuse. Now it's clear restraint made little difference I'm more inclined to a free market. Thing about food, drugs and stuff you put in your body though, is quality really matters.
- Aerroon 2y agoI think antibiotics being restricted makes a lot more sense to me than most drug policy. We have a decent understanding of how improper use of antibiotics causes harm to everyone. With most other drugs the harm is a lot less direct (often the policy itself is the main contributor to harm).
