Ok, then the DEA should do something like go after pill mills and overprescribers or at the very least apply quotas based on time of starting treatment, ie limiting new diagnoses. The latter should be easy to do because of all the scheduled drug regulations and tracking they have already. Making it so everybody with a medication gets screwed is idiotic.

I don’t even think it’s worth stopping people from taking it personally, anybody willing to fake the medical system could just as easily take street meth instead, which will be a lot worse for society. Reminds me of when the heroin epidemic went into overdrive after the DEA cracked down on pain clinics, then leading to the fentanyl epidemic, and how many deaths? I’m sure it was worth it though
