Quote by: Technosoul In order for the doctor to prescribe the drug the user must register it with the FBI. If he wishes not to register the drug then he cannot buy it and the doctor cannot prescribe it to that person. When the drug is registered they do not have to tell why it is being prescribed in order to keep medical data private. Just like you do not have to state why you are buying a gun to have it registered with the FBI. Both submisstions could then be crossed refferenced. If you got the durg registered then you cannot buy the gun, and if you have a gun registered you cannot buy the drug. But they would need a way for people get things un-registered as well.

Ah I get it. (You often make good points, but I have to wait until the end of your argument to see it. It'd be easier for me if you did the old thesis-supporting arguments-conclusion bit.)

But I see what you mean. Register the drug while you're taking it, then when you go off it, un-register it.

It's actually a great idea. Wouldn't cost too much for enforcement (just add a column to the FBI personnel database, have psychotherapists submit notice to the FBI when they start a patient on a new anti-psychotic/anti-depression drug treatment, and Jed at the gun shop doesn't have any more work to do either.)
