A red button. Image says: ‘Would you press the button?’ [results of pressing the button:] there exists a pill that makes your disability a LOT less debilitating BUT it’s near-impossible to get because the non-disabled enjoy taking the pill for fun and the government doesn’t want them to.
… “and the government doesn’t want them to”?
The last part kinda doesn’t make a lot of sense.
If the government doesn’t want the non-disabled to enjoy taking that for fun, how does that contribute to the problem? It could have made sense if it said “even though” instead of “and”, but the way it is, it’s just confusing.
Seems to make sense to me. The “and the government doesn’t want them to” part is the explanation for why it is nearly impossible to get.
This is what I meant. My native language tends to have much longer sentences than English, making my sentence structure more complex than what most are used to. So this is definitely partly on me.
What you wrote was perfectly normal and made sense to me right away
Thank you, I genuinely appreciate that you let me know!
Drugs are much cheaper to produce then they are sold as.
Just produce enough for everyone that wants them but restrict it to having to pass drug safety education and a consent check if not doctor prescribed. Have thoughtful regulations and awareness about the whole thing.
That some people will misuse something is no excuses to keep it from those that medically require it. And compared to the curent climate. Any drug naive “adult” can buy a liquor bottle of death almost everywhere with next to zero guardrails in place.
My understanding though (US) is the DEA limits the raw ingredient supply with no regard to the demand by patients. The drug manufacturers get what they get whenever the DEA decides they are allowed to have it.
It sucks having the government decide whether I get my medication each month. It sucks having to submit to drug tests to prove I am taking my meds and not hoarding/selling them. I have a giant stack of paperwork from formal testing I had, which I had to pay for out of pocket because insurance doesn’t cover it. It was something like 600-800 dollars. That is enough dammit. I shouldn’t have to live in fear that my medication will be taken away or refilled late because I can’t even request my refill until the last minute.
I looked at it like marijuana. Government doesnt want you to use it so its hard to get even though it can help with chronic pain and nausea and depression.
Exactly, they don’t care if you’re a person who needs it, they don’t want anyone to use it at all.
