Why do we have a dea? what is the purpose of having an organization focused on regulating medications? do you think that physicians should be able to prescribe narcotic medication based upon their expertise and training alone or do you feel like the government's policy for medication administration is necessary? respond with your personal thoughts.

To regulate drugs. the purpose is to not only regulate pharmaceutical drugs but they also regulate street drugs like heroine and cocaine and often trap alot of it beofre it gets on the streets. yes physicians should be able to since they have been trained and have experience but only experinced doctors with a specialization shpuld be able to give narcotics the govt has not expertise in that field.
