I don't pretend to know where you're coming from. I don't need to have an intimate understanding of your personal experiences to opine on the method you have chosen to address this issue - which is what I was doing in my initial response to you and in this post, as well. Sticking to your opinion is great - you're entirely entitled to do that. Telling others that they are out of line for disagreeing with you is a bit different than expressing and defending your opinion. That was what I responded to - not your opinion on the new law.
As far as this issue goes; I believe that like so many regulations, it goes too far and does not adequately address the needs of those who require management of chronic pain that cannot be effectively treated with non-drug therapies.
