While the powers that be have your attention focused on the latest 36-hour scandal, the systemic problems that exist in the US are metastasizing at an alarming rate. Priorities are all out of whack. The culture is mentally ill.pic.twitter.com/DoM8H9ZuM5

This is an example where free markets fail. Pushing opiates using these tactics is profitable, so it's rewarded by the market. Simple math. Laissez faire inclined economists actually say these opioid deaths are a good thing:https://twitter.com/vandrewattycpa/status/1203187655137267712?s=19 …

Jeff Vandroux 🏋️ 🥩 🍳 🕊️ 🏝️ @vandrewattycpaJust more neoliberal economists saying ghoulish things: "[M]ortality due to opioid use is up because people have gotten so much richer they can afford to be opioid addicts... There is something to celebrate if rising death rates result from voluntary, informed choices." https://twitter.com/Chris_arnade/status/1203171786919227392 …5 replies 0 proslijeđenih tweetova 4 korisnika označavaju da im se sviđa -

Eh, if the shit was free and legal to use, and produce, and sell, all without as prescription, then the pharmaceutical companies wouldn't have the ability to lure doctors into over prescribing these things to people who generally trust a doctor's word, IMO.

The street heroin market (cheap, no prescription needed) would seem to disprove that hypothetical. Most heroin addicts where I grew up did not begin with legal prescription opioids.

Well to be fair I was specifically referring to the prescription drug issue which is what I thought the video was about.

My point was that if prescription opioids were unregulated as you proposed as a solution, it wouldn't fix the problem, as they'd just end up like street heroin today. Street heroin was just an analogy.

I'm not disagreeing in that people wouldn't use them, but there are many people who only end up using them because they get prescribed by their doctor under the pretense that it's okay to use them for some arbitrary little pain they might have to endure after a procedure.

I understand your point, but I don't think it ultimately reduces use.

It most certainly does. I can say pretty confidently that you’re wrong above. Prescribed opioids are a huge gateway to heroin.

Yes, but I'm being told that if we just deregulated opioids and you could get them OTC, this would solve the issue. The drug companies would market the hell out of them OTC, people would use them for pain, and the cycle continues (even worse with no gatekeeper).

You're right at least in the sense that the American healthcare system is much too entrenched in rent-seeking interventionism to be solved with one simple trick. I recommend Hoppe's four-step healthcare solution:https://mises.org/library/four-step-healthcare-solution …
