Should people who suffer from chronic lifelong pain be punished because some people abuse such medications??? Many people who rely on such medications do not abuse these medications yet find it harder to be treated. Never mind the dirty looks and disrespect from not only the public but from doctors themselves. Addicts will always find a way to get high yet those who suffer daily unrelenting pain are more likely to commit suicide than go on living in pain.
And the corollary is....should we ignore the abuse of such medications? Far more die from that currently.
I know how bad this is for people who suffer from chronic pain, but theres another side to the argument. And it sucks all the way around.
Far far more people die from DWI, you have written it yourself............ Booze is for fun and serve no medical purpose. We should make it illegal since it causes much more harm to many who don't even indulge.

And in some cases we do. There are dry places in the US where booze is illegal, and for many years we had prohibition.
Heres the statistics:
Death from DUI per day averages out to 28, hits highs of 150 per day during holidays.

More people die from texting while driving. Make that illegal.
