| How about we quit treating people like children and make all drugs legal? The FDA stamp will just be a stamp of quality to help guide people to a known quality product. No enforcement of drug laws at the barrel of an authorities gun. But if people want to do some experimental off brand use that their doctor recommends then they can. If people do their own research and want to self prescribe they can. Getting the monopoly out of health care would reduce health care costs as well. |
At the same time, I think we would need to concurrently ban drug advertisements as other countries have. To me, that seems like a better balance between treating individuals as adults with autonomy and minimizing harm on the macro scale.
