[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 249990, member: 337"] Agreed. I would like to see open competition, lower prices, less opioids being prescribed by Dr's for profit (should be a damn death penalty for those monsters). Many things about big pharma are indeed evil/greedy. I'd like to see natural "meds" more available but purity must be assured AND people need to be be educated about the damage they might do themselves. Problem with things like Kratom is that they can be abused for getting high. Anything that gets people amped, psychotic, etc. but gets sold to help a real problem will result in people abusing it. Like spray paint for crap's sake... or cold medicine. Or bath salts. WTF is wrong with people? It shouldn't happen but it's a human condition. The devil puts a price on everything it seems. So the problem becomes.... do we open things up and the few innocent people that get murdered, burgled, get their face chewed off, etc. by loony tunes getting high - are they just a price to be paid for open access? Or do we limit access.... and then people in chronic pain who might benefit but can't get their hands on it - so they are the people who pay the price. And speaking of educated... NOBODY who sticks meth or opioids in their body for fun doesn't know the risks by now. And yet thousands are still dying. Why? Because no matter what - a certain percentage of people are addicts and will die when we open up access (legal or illegal) to any type to addictive compounds. Balancing these issues seems impossible.
