“That problem needs to be addressed. Even though necessary medications are being abused, this does not justify unnecessary drugs being abused.”
I agree it is a problem, but having the government decide what is “necessary” in every problem leads to things like a grandma getting arrested because she traveled out of town and forgot some over the counter medicine that is controlled and she bought one already that month, so when she bought a second she was suddenly a criminal...
I want to use the least amount of government possible to solve a problem and even then only when there is no other good alternative.
I agree. How do we get there?
