The only other argument, Dr. Patel, is related to the fact that, as you and I both know, the opioid crisis was largely fuelled by OxyContin prescribed by physicians. Just for the record, you nodded in the affirmative to that statement. How can we suggest that flooding the market with more and more opioids for people to use at their will is going to be of benefit? To me, that's counterintuitive. It really becomes nonsensical to say that we got into this problem—which we agree on—based on an oversupply of readily available, highly potent short- and long-acting opioids, and now we're going to get out of it by giving people more and more opioids. That seems counterintuitive to me.
I agree with you that we need to create spaces where we have relationships with people, but just saying, “Take whatever you want” doesn't seem sensible to me.
