The obvious solution is to not make drugs worth fighting over by legalising them. |
You do realize that some of the drugs people have been killed over are prescription drugs, right? Legalizing drugs isn't going to stop people from dying over them, especially when they need their fix and don't have the money to purchase or acquire them legally i.e. a doctor's prescription.

The solution then would just be to de-regulate the distribution of all drugs, but big pharma would *hate* it.
Actually something i could get behind, namely that you can't patent a distinct chemical compound.

Clinical trials need to stay in some form. If the US had public healthcare it would be cost effective to entirely self-fund trials. Perhaps in conjunction with some EU systems.

Well, not to get rid of the FDA or its strict requirements, but to eliminate the entire "perscription" system and make everything over-the-counter

Really? So you think that highly addictive painkillers and anti-depressant drugs (which more people in the US abuse and overdose on than any "illegal" drug every year) should be available over the counter? That's taking things a bit far, isn't it? In a country where salt and sugary foods and drinks are being banned because they make people who consume way too much of them fat, we're going to make prescription drugs easier for just about everyone to access?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
