You could curb the opiate epidemic if you made it criminal for a Dr to throw pain patients off their meds without a reasonable taper. Never should a patent that has been prescribed Opiates for years be cut off meds with out a taper! And leave Kratom alone!

This war on opioids KILLS addicts. Making reliably manufactured drugs less accessible and driving them to use illicit fentanyl (unknown potency) is a childishly foolish approach. Also, injured vets/elderly/disabled/chronic pain are committing suicide. @SGottliebFDA

I'm a simple layman. No medical degree or fancy education, and even I know at least a partial answer to the "issues" you face. STOP INTERFERING WITH SAFE PRESCRIBING IN CLINICAL SETTINGS! The data doesn't lie. Look at West Va. if you need a real world example!
