Making pharmaceutical pain medications tamper resistant or tamper proof will cut down on burglaries and robberies of drug stores.

So would legalizing those drugs ... without misdirecting research resources that could be used to actually help sick people.

I doubt it. Legalized narcotics haven't lowered crime in countries like Switzerland that tried decriminalizing narcotic use.

"Decriminalizing" doesn't make drugs any easier to get. Why would anyone rob a drug store for a drug they could buy legally?

...Heard about the "black market"? I hope for a solution to this war. Soon. We have more important "crimes" to win, without obvious settled domestic distractions...
