“The rash of broken homes and deaths caused by their over-prescription...”
I’d bet you wouldn’t think they were “over prescribed” if you got them for some excruciating pain you were enduring.
I’d like to see the grinning drug warriors at the DEA forced to endure agonizing, unrelenting, untreated pain in a laboratory for at least 30 consecutive days as a precondition for being hired. If anyone dies from being denied effective pain treatment as a result of DEA actions, then it’s another 30 days each in the torture laboratory for all agents involved.
