Ensure the freedom for patients to obtain life-saving opioid pain relief! repeal the cara act! amend the csa as requested by dr richard lawhern!

Please take a look at my policy proposal. Opioid pandemic crisis solution: Prescriptions for controlled substances to be dispensed in a container with a locking lid designed for single pill access

Unfortunately, when doctors weren’t regulated by such acts that you listed, they were over prescribing and this did lead to a staggering number of misuse, abuse, street sales and death. My proposition would allow doctors to feel comfortable prescribing such substances again but with checks and balances to keep patients safe and accountable. It’s sad that many people are unable to obtain narcotics due to fear of prosecution and malpractice on the prescriber. I’d be hesitant to prescribe such medications as well knowing the repercussions. This proposal I submitted would take away the regulations from the government agencies and put the power back into the doctors and patients hands while promoting a safe and controlled use.
