Florida isn't an abstract place, it's located in the southern United States. Contrast it with other states that enforce OxyContin better.
I believe you are confused about enforcement of sale vs use, and the specifics of any policy beyond the buzzword "drug war", which is typical of this debate.

In any case, I don't want to suggest that the alternative is some kind of anarchic free-for-all - so enforcement wasn't a well chosen word (sorry!). I mean prohibition specifically, not just any kind of regulation. If anything, I think existing "legal" drugs like nicotine and especially alcohole could use more regulation, not less. The saying perfect is the enemy of good pretty much sums up my stance here :-) - don't bother aiming for complete abolition despite the fact that that might be a "perfect" solution if achievable.
