pharmaceutical companies run the country. if we made all drugs legal, they wouldn't get their money. they pay the lobbyists hundreds of millions of dollars to ensure things remain the way they are.

If parents didn't send their kids to the doctor for behavioral problems, they wouldn't have patients to prescribe medicine to. The parents are to blame more than anyone IMO.

Obviously. They don't have that problem in France because the doctors don't want to make that much money and get into the upper tax bracket and lose like 75% of their earnings.
