If you let people find their own free way to best live their lives, they won't.
Exposing the masses to strong, addictive and unhealthy drugs means getting more people hooked. What follows is crime, unemployment, heavier drugs, death.
Unless you understand that your use-case might not fit the public, stop implying substances are controlled for no reason.
In a country like the US where big pharma keeps lobbying to regulate as little as possible I would pause and think about why they're not OTC and how it would affect the general population if they were.

Ah like the War on Drugs, got it.

You're constructing a strawman. You're taking what I said ("whether it's a pill mill or not, let folks live their lives") and interpreting it in the weakest way possible ("implying substances are controlled for no reason".) This is not what I said. A "pill mill" (some pejorative used for institutions that folks disagree with apparently) is an institution that has some medical liability. It's not making every substances an unregulated one.
Other than leading to the same thing they have nothing in common, and the reason there is a war on drugs is a complex, heated political topic.
At no point did I say the war on drugs is a good thing.
You're constructing a strawman, You're taking what I said (leads to people's misery) and interpreting it in the weakest way possible (drugs are bad). This is not what I said, I said that exposing the masses to addictive drugs is a really bad idea.
You tried giving opioids to everyone, everyone got hooked on opioids, rinse and repeat.
I'm not saying we should mistreat or lock up consumers of drugs, I'm saying it's a good idea to limit exposure in the first place. Drugs help people everywhere, they also ruin people everywhere.
