Your opinion is obviously obtained from a lack of
knowledge or understanding of the deaths and
suffering that resulted from the free availability
of opium and cocaine containing remedys at the turn of the century. It appears that even without government regulation, some folks can’t seem to control their drug intake and we as a society are the ones that suffer for their “libery” Give your head a shake and read some books so your opinion
can come across as anything but the idiocy it presents itself as.

Just because some people CHOSE to dose incorrectly, against the directions on the bottle, does not mean the majority of people should have to suffer. All opiates (and all drugs for that matter), including any type of preparation or tincture should still be fully legal for sale today in any store, not just pharmacies, and without prescription. It’s funny how today we see “prescriptions” as PERMISSION SLIPS basically… when in fact they were originally intended by doctors to be just what they sound like, which is directions on how to use drugs to get well… not permission slips to get drugs.

When did America cease to be the land of Liberty? It’s hard to say… government regulation only gives people false senses of hope & security, and offers no real protection. Stable minded adults should be free to choose to use whatever substances on themselves they see fit… BOTTOMLINE!
