  • If you artificially limit the supply of whatever drug, the demand for that drug is also artificially inflated. Companies being companies can then increase the price of the drug based on those figures and make more profit without having to spend time and resources making more of those drugs.

    Limiting the manufacture of those drugs also ensures that the market doesn’t get flooded with too much of that drug, keeping a baseline floor price of that drug.

    If the pharmaceutical companies were advocating for the patients I would believe that the DEA is being ridiculous, but that’s not what’s happening here. You have pharmaceutical companies not producing those medications to the limits already set.

    With the logic of “please daddy afea Don’t let me make more profits!” You would think those pharmaceutical manufacturers would be making more, but they aren’t. So it isn’t the DEA being the DEA in this instance.
