I would like to see most drugs legalized too, but with regulations. I would like to see all drugs that people are on long term legalized. Drugs that regulate high blood pressure, or blood sugars should be over the counter.

Basically maintance drugs--drugs you have been on for more than say four years shouldn't require an office visit for a prescription.

Too many physicians essentially hold patients hostage--all for a few extra bucks. I imagine at least 50 percent of the people reading this are on a drug long term that requires a physician, and office visit to refill it? We go to that needless office visit because we have too. We all sit in that chair--thinking, if you're not looking at my blood work, "Why am I here?"

And no---antibiotics, strong opiates, and methamphetamine type drugs should always require a physicians signature.

That said drugs like bupenorpine should be over the counter. This one drug could help a lot of addicts--now. It's almost impossible to overdose on.

(As to marijuana--if you honestly feel it makes you feel/function better in this crazy world, why shouldn't you be able to use it. I'm ambivalent on cocaine/speed. I don't feel opiates should be made easily available. They are just to addictive.)
