Ryan Haight (Quicksilver) was a young bluelighter who passed from a drug overdose in 2001. He was obtaining opiates and other drugs from an online pharmacy. His parents fought to regulate online pharmacies and eventually Congress passed a law in his name putting restrictions on prescribing controlled substances without an in person exam.

The article addresses the unintended consequences of the law. The law designed to prevent addiction is now denying opiate addicts in rural areas the opportunity to access potentially life saving treatment.

.

All of this nightmare we are dealing with now including the fentanyl epidemic and script crackdowns is heavily to blame on the parents of dead junkies and thier deluded anti opioid crusade they only cared about after thier kid OD.

This ppl need to move on with thier damn life and accept the fact that millions will do drugs and OD no matter what for the rest of history

The story story is a microcosm of the larger issues at play in the opiate "thing" as I've started calling it. The DEA suppressing access to Suboxone and Methadone. The unintended consequences of laws. The prohibition mindset that you can somehow legislate away addiction and tragedy. It's all here.
 
I really hope it doesn't come to this but what will make these morons see the futility and hypocrisy. Does it have to be violence? Honestly I have no idea what it will take for these morons to see correctly. This isn't a fucking opinion issue anymore this is quality of life and oppression. Are we going to allow personal freedom or legislate morality and incarcerate everyone who isn't agreeable? What the fuck will it take? This is, at this point, purposeful obstinance or some kind of profiteering.

How come parents like these need to deal with their grief by controlling others , when they couldnt control their own son? Is it like a form of deferring responsibility, anger/projection? None of these kinds of laws do any good overall. Im a chronic pain patient who is very Ill and telemedicine could really help me. and instead of easy to dose prescription opioids, whether they were abusing them or not, now people get fent analogues and worse shit
