    Also, yes it fucking is because of the availability. The reason it became a massive epidemic is that every other doctor in the country became a drug dealer for dangerous recreational drugs.

    And why were they doing this? Because the drugs were available or because it was profitable?

      I don’t follow. Are you saying that if people understand the dangers of overdosing they’ll quit doing it? Because if so I think you’re ignoring the impaired judgement.

      And why were they doing this? Because the drugs were available or because it was profitable?

      The drugs are available because they’re profitable. Giving them to anyone who asks for free won’t make them safer.

      They did it because people came to them and asked for it. Making them over the counter would make this vastly vastly worse in every way.

        this is deeply naive. also idk how many doctors you have dealt with but they are not known for doing things because the patient asked for them
