Keeping him drugged up was the problem in the first place. Ban prescription drugs, you won't hear that in the media.

I wouldn't ban them all together. There are some medications that have been very helpful in controlling mental disease in a lot of patients. But there needs to be a long look at the rate they're being prescribed by some doctors and realistic alternatives to medication if possible.

Unfortunately when states do this, you see a rise in illegal drugs like heroin because of the reduced availability of the prescription drugs they became addicted to. But that's just part of it.
