title: [Addicted patients: do not distribute street drugs: do treat with registered psychoactive medication].
abstract: Addiction is a chronic brain disease with a destructive lifestyle. The distribution of street drugs should not be an option for medical doctors. They should be able to prescribe registered psychoactive substances as agonist treatment. To become registered as a drug, the normal procedure for registration should be followed; this includes conducting good scientific research into efficacy and effectiveness.
