Makary: "Why are medications prescription only? If you think about it, if a medication is safe, doesn't require laboratory test monitoring & can't be used in some nefarious way, why do we require a prescription? Most of the world does not do that. There's something magical about price transparency."

JHC. Isn't Makary an MD? (note: I now mentally substitute "malarky" every time I see his name)
Sure, let's let people "do their own research" then self-medicate with no doctor involved (or only "doctor google" or "doctor Grok") to their heart's content. What could popsicley go wrong?

Nothing. Which is why Spankee needs to be stood up in front of a giga-rad X-ray machine and let it blast the "aliens" out of him. Sigourney Weaver will be SO happy to NOT have to fight them yet again....

Come to Seattle. The city will give you foil and needles and you can buy/use all the fentanyl you want. That comment of yours didn’t land near as well as thought it did.

Doubtful Seattle is passing out fentanyl.in addition to the old standby- methadone, which doesn’t work that well and often ends up simply substituting one opiate for another.
As far as rhe free needles- that goes a long way in preventing addicts from becoming casualties and vectors of hep C and AIDS.
It’s a public health measure, but since the right has pretty much rejected the premises of public health, you might reject the notion that free needles actually save lives.

Man, do you need to understand blue cities more. Blue cities all but hand out illicit drugs in the name of "harm reduction". Just last week the new Communist Mayor of Seattle decided not to clear out a notorious drug encampment known for people lining up to buy from dealers.

What you don't understand is that the cities hand out boxes of free needles, not just one. The druggies re-use them anyway and now you have sharps dumped all over the city, in the parks, everywhere.
left wingers believe in "public health" as defined by other left wingers. In no universe does enabling someone's addiction work out for actual public health. left wingers might as well just euthanize the addicts directly.

Start with Spankee, as he is an addict. So, "just following YOUR DIRECTIVE". OOPS !!!

There ya go, Dope. I congratulate you for at least hanging on to the coattails of truth. You’re right- drug clinics don’t dispense fentanyl.
They hand out sterile needles because they know that if they don’t, the incidence of both Hep-C and AIDS will increase in the population at large.

giving addicts free needles makes about as much sense as buying a drunk free drinks at the bar.
That's the Left for you.
Who is making bank on the free needles type programs?
Democrats.
It's all about the benjamins. These stupid programs are funded by the government, then money is funneled back indirectly to the politicians who are voting for these stupid programs in an endless cycle.

Yep. Up here in Seattle we call it the Homeless Industrial Complex. The true-blue governments up here funnel hundreds of millions $$ into it.
