'hysteria' is the key word here. A blanket ban on more than 7 days of opioid medication is a hysterical reaction to the current problem. Sure, root out the corruption. Blame people and companies and even put people in jail if you think it will help. But in the meantime, it saves lives.

Also, as long as we're here, the reason pill-selling and whatnot exists is because of the war on drugs. But that's a larger discussion than what I/we can do here.
