You'd think!
But the pharmaceutical companies are what run this country. Billions of dollars flow into it daily. If docs started prescribing opiates or kratom, then suddenly there wouldn't be any need for antidepressants, weight loss medications, anti-anxiety meds, ADD stimulants, etc.
Same with marijuana. If that became legal, farmers growing and exporting weed and hemp products could completely erase the national debt. THEN where would we be??
