Don't blame our good clean stimmy manufacturers for this poo poo, they need to be given more power to market and distribute their wares, not less. Yeah, this isn't some "big pharma" scheme. Pharmaceutical companies want money. They make money by making drugs and selling them to people. But for those unaware the DEA sets a quota for each control every year based on what they (cops) feel the American public needs/wants/deserves. This is bad, but it gets worse. They divide the quota among manufacturers based on what they (cops) think each manufacturer can produce. Pharmaceutical manufacturing is difficult and complex, sometimes a manufacturer can't make as much as they want to. I have to give this to free market capitalism: its good at naturally resolving shortages like this. If a manufacturer can't make enough of a product to meet demand, another company will happily step in and fill the need. This happens all the time with non-control drugs. With controlled drugs however another company can't step in and make more, the quota is the quota. Do you think the DEA would step in and reassign quotas to manufacturers that can actually make the drug? lol no, they're cops, and that sounds suspiciously like work. Oh and this system completely failed to stop the opioid overprescription/pill mill crisis of the 2000's that led to the deadliest addiction epidemic in history. On that note, CVS/Walgreens/etc are gun-shy about dispensing controls because in the roaring 2000's a clapped out minivan would pull up to a CVS, an entire extended family would pile out each with a script for oxy IR 30mg from Dr. feelgood in Florida for "low back pain" and CVS would go YEAH SEEMS LEGIT. Now they're paying out multi-billion dollar settlements to various states for the whole opioid crisis they helped cause. I highly recommend people find an independent pharmacy in their area and build a relationship with them. They might not have the online ordering and stuff but they will be far more willing to work with you on important stuff than CVS.
