Texas Medical Board would be very helpful if the hearing and Congress holdthem accountable, doctors know theyre prescribing correctly, but theyre afraid to keep prescribing.They say Yeah, but The DEA comes on my neck. The DEA creates a lot of confusion, The DEA puts them in a bind, the The DEA ispracticing medicine without a license.

Congress can direct The DEA to work more closely with state regulatory agencies, there has to be clear direction to make sure patients needs are balanced with illicit use of drugs that are out there.
