I wish there was a way to make natural painkillers more available and at the same time prevent abuse and the problems that causes.
I think one of the reasons for controlling substances is to raise the price, inspire derivatives that are more powerful, more addictive, and easier to transport, and make them available in the black market. That provides an income for the evil entities of the world and a dependent / addicted population who will do anything to support their expensive habit - perpetuating distribution chains, crime, and theft.
One a side note - in case anyone questions how long people knew about cigarettes, find some old WWII history books and combat veteran personal diaries. They were calling them cancer sticks and coffin nails in the early 1940's. It was already in the vernacular and not new information when the war broke out.

"Smoker's Cough" was first used in 1898 as a term to describe one of the negative medical effects of smoking tobacco.
No one thought smoking was good for you.
