That's because this "shining beacon of light" thinks it
needs to regulate matters which should be left to be decided by conscenting
adults.  Meanwhile, your doc has to be afraid to prescribe you medicines in
proper amount to ameliorate
your pain if you have chronic conditions needing them,
because if he prescribes adequate amounts and dosages the
dea will take away his license to practice and throw him in
prison.

Regards,
