1. James Smith James Smith United States says:

    Our government is going after the opoid problem in the wrong way.  Instead of attacking the problem through pharmacies our government should go after the doctors. It is presumptuous for the government to insert itself between a doctor and their patient!  By instituting limits for everyone the government is using a "one size fits all" solution for the problem.  If there is a problem why isn't the government instituting an education program for doctors? The CDC DEA and others certainly seem to believe that they know better than the doctors what's best for their patients!
    Tell our government representatives this is wrong!  If there is a problem the government should address it the correct way, by working with the doctors themselves, anything else reeks of bully-mentality dishonesty.
    Mr. Smith

      When did pharmacies become licensed Doctors? Do they maintain personal information in which Doctors have done in order to prescribe the correct medications for each patient? Attack street drugs this is where the problem lies.
