What is the alternative? Sure, I agree people misuse medications sometimes.

So should we not help people curb their obesity and/or T2D because some folks misuse it? Of course not.

People misuse Sudafed and use it to make meth, or drink Robitussin to get high. I would be very upset if I lost access to those medications when I was sick, simply because we decided to make rules about the exception. :)



I'm really not sure what the alternative is.
