  2. This definitely seems like a step in the right direction. I think that it is a good sign that lawmakers and doctors were able to work together come to a compromise, in order to develop a policy that is agreeable by both sides. Time will tell if these restrictions are successful in combating the crisis.

  3. Seems to be a step in the right direction. By limiting use via prescriptions, addiction to prescribed medications may decrease.
