Having said the above, on reflection as a conservative, I would like to take this out of federal govt control, the problems don’t go away but as least we can deal with it on a state and local level.
Broward County is the center of oxycontin and other pain killer businesses. Anybody can open up a “pain clinic” and sell pills to addicts who in turn take it to their home states to spread the misery around. This does show that making drugs easy to get makes them much more widespread throughout the culture.
