IMO opinion this is an even bigger issue with other medications. Doctors shouldn't get to decide that you should live in pain, or be trapped in a prison of your mind.

In our current society, a doctor has the unilateral decision whether to end a patients life (in so far as they are able to thrive in our society). Access to stimulant and opioid medication should be a right for patients with these conditions.

We don't need a doctor to baby us, when they would certainly have access for themselves and their children. The majority of doctors would not give up their career, move in with their parents, or tell their kids that college is not for them.
