Unfortunately, a few docs have begun prescribing the stuff for "maladies" for which there is no evidence of benefit. One doc has even prescribed the medication to people with anorexia, theoretically to increase their appetite. Umm. Except lack of appetite isn't the issue with anorexia, so the doc, IMHO, ought to be tagged for malpractice. I guess, like with any medication and medical tool, regulation must be spelled out to the T.

That said, I still find this result unbearable, whether or not its meets the law to a T. And I'm not so sure that it does, as the states are supposed to be able to act independently in order to develop new ways of treating people. At least that's my previous understanding of it.
