That is how it is supposed to work in theory, but we all know once these laws/databases and such get implemented they become just another tool of intimidation in the hands of "Drug"-enforcement zealots. The programs are designed to sound benign and sensible so that they can be sold to the legislative bodies, framed a certain way for the news media, and ultimately digested by a public conditioned to accept these excuses for freedom-suppressing, paternalistic mechanisms of control. Real people in real pain are going to be caused even more pain, even persecuted by this system.
