fun fact: until about the mid 50s, there wasn't always a clear line between RX drugs and other drugs...there also wasn't a raging "war on drugs". And it wasn't until the 70s that the DEA really got cracking with controlled substance regulations. I don't think the results have been all that impressive.
I kind of think that since we live in a capitalist system, the whole RX and banned drugs system runs against the grain and causes problems. If we could just purchase what was needed, using the advice and consultations with doctors, that would probably be a good set up.
