I'm not big on giving kids speed just because they annoy their parents, nor do I like the way the Rx drug market works, but I can't help but think that the more we try to regulate prescribers, the more freedoms we lose (and we've already lost plenty to the failed "War on Drugs"). I think Dr.Szasz has a point; legalize (or at least decriminalize) everything and put it on an open market. I imagine health care costs will go way down as people choose the cheapest (and most pleasant) option over the heavily-promoted (and often decidedly less pleasant) "modern" options.
Also, people wouldn't need to visit docs to get permission slips to have drugs; they could just go to Joe's Drug Mart or whatever and stock up on whatever they need to maintain their health and maybe improve on reality a little bit.
