• CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES & LEGITIMATE USE

    Patients in Pain Shouldn’t Be Treated Like Criminals

    When policymakers target abuse instead of fixing access, the people who suffer most are those
    with chronic pain, PTSD, hormonal imbalance, and mental illness.

  • Compounded medications that include Schedule III–V controlled substances—like testosterone, ketamine, or low-dose naltrexone—are essential for many patients. Yet DEA pressure, shifting state laws, and post-COVID restrictions on telemedicine have created a chilling effect on legitimate prescribing.

    Providers are afraid to treat. Pharmacies are afraid to fill. And patients are left behind.

  • WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE

    Controlled substances can be misused—but restricting access for everyone is not a solution. We need targeted, balanced policy that protects access for legitimate medical use while addressing true abuse.
