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?

Not really. I tend to think that the harder drugs should stay illegal, actually (basically everything except Weed and maybe MDMA), i'm just trying to feel out a possibly-viable solution to the problem.
