Allowing people to use cannabis as an alternative is a start. I also think Suboxone should be made more available for people to get off opioids. For doctors to be able to prescribe suboxone they have to get a special certification, so there for most doctors are not able to prescribe it. Yes suboxone can be abused as well, but when used right, and with somebody willing to take the steps to get clean, it is a wonderful drug.
