Doctors need to stop prohibiting medications that help patients in pain. They’re not terrible drugs. They’re terrible drugs in the wrong hands.

Most doctors do what they think is the right thing 100% of the time

Pill farms don't just happen accidentally. These are being run by criminals with a medical degree.

I'm sure there are many doctors who have been misinformed by opioid manufacturers but they're a small part of the problem compared to pill farms https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/six-drug-companies-subpoenaed-in-federal-opioids-probe/2019/11/27/745899e6-112e-11ea-bf62-eadd5d11f559_story.html

I think the FDA should be leading the charge EDUCATING doctors to combat the opioid crisis and the crisis that many pain patients are facing

This is the United States of America, we can do this https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/11/27/our-dangerous-fear-pain/?arc404=true

No border wall will ever be able to stop the flow of drugs.

The solution needs to be education and treatment. I think long term treatment is the best solution, but that's certainly up for debate.

We need to enforce the laws and stop criminals, but not good doctors
